Three weeks from today (and barring any flight delays) I'll be home in Bergen. In the words of another Stanford-ite spending the summer in Africa, "I'm both dreading and dying to come home." I miss my family and friends, balmy summer nights (and sunlight past 5pm!), running with my iPod, a bathroom with a door that fully closes where I can keep my shampoo every night, to name a few. I knew time would fly here, but this is such an amazing experience I'm trying to savor every morsel of it - who knows when I'll be able to come back?
After a busy few weeks, work is winding down. Today Willem and I submitted our draft legal report to the rest of the environmental assessment team for review and comments. It's a beast of a thing - nearly 70 pages, single spaced, 1 inch margins, Times New Roman 11 font.
Meanwhile, I'm busy preparing for some personal travel. Tomorrow morning I'm leaving for my mini-holiday / present-to-myself : an 10-Day safari through the Okavango Delta to Victoria Falls! I'm going with a local tour company - Wild Dog and Crazy Kudu Safaris - I've heard wonderful things about them from other guests. You can read more about our trip itinerary here. I'm ridiculously excited, especially about riding in a Mokoro (traditional dug-out canoe), I really hope there aren't any snakes in the water - eek!
I'll have lots of updates and stories when I get back... wish me safe travels!
