Yes, somehow the combination of Sushi and Zebra was perfect! Our group is starting to feel comfortable breaking off into smaller groups on the weekend. On Friday, I went with 2 other girls to the culinary schools sushi restaurant and had a blast. NICE Sushi sits on a rooftop overlooking downtown and has a wonderful view. I had never been to a sushi restaurant before and it was the first time I had real sushi; Whole Foods doesn't count! I ordered the spicy tuna rolls and fell in love. The restaurant is very reasonable too since it is culinary students who prepare your meal. It was very nice to be a group of 3 instead of 24.
After dinner we took a taxi to Joe's Beerhouse to met up with the rest of our group. Joe's is the epitome of tourist stops in Windhoek. Its outdoors and has a very extensive game menu. One of the girls had ordered a Zebra steak but could not finish it so I had a bit out of curiosity! Amazingly, Zebra tastes like the best fillet Mignon I have ever had. It was wonderful but I doubt I would have been able to have more than a bite. Eating Zebra just seems wrong! At Joe's we ran into a bunch of American students from Semester at Seas who were in Windhoek. It was great to talk to them and made me realize how much I know about Windhoek already!
Life here is great! I can not believe I have been gone for over a month already. This week we are going to the coast. We'll leave on Wednesday and go to Walvis Bay and Swakomound. Saturday will be a free day and a group of us are going on a half day kayaking trip to see seals, whales, and dolphins! I am SO excited since I have never seen a whale outside of Sea World! I have also firmed up plans for fall break. I will be going on a 7 day/6 night rafting trip on the Orange River. The river is the boundary between South Africa and Namibia and it takes you through some of the most unspoiled and beautiful spots in Southern Africa; according to the website! I can not wait!!
I will not have access to Internet from Wednesday afternoon until Sunday evening but I will be sure to update my blog when I return from the coast! I hope you have a wonderful Sunday and GO BRONCOS
