Katatura Homestay

For the past week, we've been staying with host families in the Katatura area of Windhoek. I have a wonderful family, the Geiseb's, who have a 10-year-old son, Ndeapo, and a whole slew of nieces, nephews and cousins that come to visit at their house frequently. This past weekend, they took me to their farm which is about an hour from Windhoek. They built the farm themselves, and it consists of a little house/cabin, a chicken coop, goat pen, pig pen and water tower. Ndeapo, some of his cousins and I spent the afternoon chasing around baby goats and running after chickens and singing songs and so forth. It was a blast. My study abroad program has given us the option of staying longer with our host families beyond the original 10 days, so I've decided to stay a week longer in order to spend more time with the family (outside of the fairly crowded CGE house where we normally live) and visit the farm again. They're planning on spending the night there next weekend, so I'm hoping to go with them!
