Namibia Day 3 (February 16, 2009)

After waking up a little later than we had planned, we set out for breakfast. We stopped at a beachside joint which served breakfast food (Namibia’s food has been the closest to America’s so far). The waitress we had was very nice as well. She loved Barak Obama and professional wrestling. She thought I looked a lot like John Cena. After breakfast, we set out for some shopping. Telling street side vendors we were “going to the ATM”, Matt, Mark, and I went to a legitimate sport and jersey store. I bought a very cool Namibian national soccer jersey as a souvenir for the country. One of the most memorable moments of the entire trip was conversing with this store’s owner and workers. We talked about soccer, Namibian specifically. Apparently, the owner had been part of the national team when he was younger, so we were grilling him on all of the best Namibian players. He told us that today; the best player in Namibia is Quinton Jacobs who plays professional in Norway. The rest of the day was filled with more bartering and traveling back to port.
