Bit of a Blog Intermission

How Namibia and Botswana may be a bit more modern but their internet access is nothing to write home about.

Hi everyone. Sorry for the lack-o-blog lately but we've hit a serious internet drought here in Namibia. I'd love to tell all of you work procrastinators that our blog will soon be offering a good excuse to put off doing timesheets but alas, we may be out of luck for the next week or so. There is just absolutely no where to crank out a good blog. Darn you Africa. Anyway, we have breezed through the somewhat boring Botswana (like driving through Kansas with the bonus of elephants) and have made our way to Namibia. We'll be spending some time in Etosha National Park before hitting the road to do some serious bushcamping. Considering there will be no water supply where we are headed, the liklihood of an internet cafe in our future is slim. Please hang in there with us as we promise thrills, chills and spills once we get connected again. And someone remind me when I get back to the blog to tell you how Grubby and Skanky got us out of a sticky situation at the border. Yes, they may have their rough spots but those guys are nothing if not resourceful. God love 'em.
Alright - hang in there. Must go stock up at the store on Cokes and chutney chips. The outback is going to be rough enough without having to sacrifice the Mrs. Balls Chutney Chip addiction I'm currently nursing (note to my Dad: you may have some Mrs. Balls coming your way....)
Fingers crossed we'll be back to blog...

Hey Mary and Colin, this is blogtacular! You guys are BLOWING OUR MINDS with your adventures. Great writing! Just when you think it can't get any more amazing, you just keep upping the ante. How can you possibly sleep amongst the grazing hippos?!?! I just wanted to say hi, as Sarah Murphy recently turned me on to the comment button (she's too chicken to post). Take care (within reason), Pat. P.S. I tried to get a group at work to do the "Mary Challenge", which involved losing 20 pounds and learning French so we could BLOW YOUR MIND upon your return. Doesn't look like those plans will materialize.
