Heading North

We arrived in Namibia on Wednesday afternoon. We headed to the ELCRN guesthouse in Windhoek for an overnight stay and then headed to our next stop, Tsumeb on our way up to Ondongwa. It was from Ondongwa that we would be setting our for our northern sister church visits.

This woman, Nailoke (which means let it rain), set up a business of baking breads in a solar oven. She measures out the dough carefully and puts it in soup cans. She then puts the cans in a box that is lined with mirrors. The plexiglass lid is closed and the sun does the work. With in a few hours the sun has beaked the bread which she then sells. 
I bought some bread from her and it was slightly sweet, almost like a corn bread. I wished I could have gotten more but it was early in the day and the bread wasn't ready yet.
This is our whole delegation outside of our hotel in Tsumeb
