Aside: I still have to tell all of y’all (both of you) about the teardrop trailer<\/a> I built and then dragged up to Etosha<\/a> for the school holidays. But that’s not important right now.<\/p>\n

Just north of Windhoek there’s a little town (most towns in Namibia are little, and there are not so many towns either) called Okahandja, and there we passed a military museum. I was kind of sad that we didn’t have time to visit.<\/p>\n
