We flew over the Kalahari today- who woulda thought I'd ever do that?! from the air it looked like the nullabor- trees dotted on the baked red earth, melting into a shimmery blue haze that blended into the clear blue sky... beautiful.
It was really weird landing though- there was desert tinged in green from the recent rains on one side and mountains on the other. No sign of inhabitants or houses let alone a capital city and the next thing we're landing and all around was green grass and stunted trees. It felt eerily like coming into Albany airport and i started wondering if i was in the right place- what on earth is this country going to be like if they put their international flights down in the middle of nowhere! Not a single house or sign of infrastructure...except for a great big international airport terminal and a couple of south african Airline planes sitting incongruosly on the tarmac. I stepped out of the cold plane into the sunny warm breeze. From the ground level the horizon was nothing but a mirage shimmer. the sky was so-big.... i grinned from ear to ear. yup- im in the right place

I watched The Gods Must be Crazy for the first time in years the other night. Best movie ever, and you just flew over the set!
