Highly Slow and Questionable Internet Connection - So No Pics Right Now

Something about a satellite falling out of orbit??? At least that's been the rumor going round the country. Thus, no new posts with pictures this past week. Perhaps tomorrow? Suffice to say its been a busy week:

- Spent two days observing the high treason trial currently ongoing in the Namibian Supreme Court. Then poof - a two week adjournement. I have been afforded every courtesy by all parties to the case, and yet, I had the distinct, and not too surprising sense, that they didn't particularly love having me there (perhaps the reason the adjournment timing perfectly coincided with my date to return to the U.S.? or am I just paranoid?) Thus, I moved on to other business...

- A few days of meetings and running around hunting down legal texts as part of the World Bank Doing Business Project, specifically, assessing their current anti-corruption legislation, governmental bodies, and practices. I've also been asking the man on the street a bit about this matter - needless to say, the opinions of the citizenry and the govenrment differ somewhat on this point!

- Today one hell of a vacation day - sandboarding the dunes of the Namib desert, and then shortly after, jumping out of a plane above it all. Fingers crossed that pictures will be posted soon!

Off to eat some antelope now (I look forward to a week of eating salads when I return!).

It was probably a Russian satellite.
