Are Those Your Friends?

Today after school I headed to Ondangwa to meet up with Brian, Cat, Colleen, Kari, Kimberlee, Theresa, Allison and Ashley to head to Ruacana Falls to go camping for the Fourth of July weekend. Since I knew that I would not be able to make it to Ondangwa by 3p, when they were all meeting, we had arranged for me to SMS them when I arrived and they would pick me up after getting what we needed at the grocery store and picking up the cars.

Initially, I thought that I would be there by 4:30p, but I got there earlier than expected. Since the group was still picking up the cars and buying groceries, I spent about 30 minutes at the internet café and then decided to just wait outside. There is a café/bar in the shopping center with the internet café and as I sat waiting on the steps, some guys came out to talk with me. It turns out that they are nursing students and as we were chatting, a white Yaris full of white people came into view. They immediately asked if those were my friends...

The crew headed to Jen’s house to stay the night before leaving for Ruacana in the morning. Ashley cooked spaghetti for dinner and we took up the entire living room floor when we went to sleep. Around 5a, Ashley was talking in her sleep and shouted “Are you okay? You are in the hospital!” Most of our group starting giggling – so we must have all been awake in our sleeping bags, not knowing that the others were also awake. At least we were going to get an early start to our trip…
