The joy of african roads

After days on southern Namibia's lovely gravel roads, all that bouncing began to take its toll on more than butts. The windshield had all but shaken right out of its frame. Every bump bounced the glass far enough that if you were fast enough, as well as stupid of course, you could have fit your finger in the space. When we stopped to fix it, of course every man in the vicinity had to take a look.Even the young ones
We provided quite the excitement for this small farm
The kids were so very cute, so I employed my new found bargaining tool
Take a picture and show it to the kids, they clamor for more, and we all are happy
This little guy was very outgoing and did everything he could to get me to take more pictures
This one was super shy, but curious
I loved this little girl
I'm so cool!
They would laugh and squeal when they found themselves on my tiny screen

Even the adults wanted in the fun
Joan got this picture of me covered in kids as I showed the pictures offFinally, Jan and Jimmy shoved the windshield into its proper place, and we left these hilarious kids behind. What a wonderful detour!
