The Big Empty

from thecommonwealth.org
Until now, whenever I heard the name "Namibia" (which, admittedly, is not often), I'd replay, in the back of my mind, a shtick from an ooooolllldd Saturday Night Live, "Toasters for Namibia" (well, now that I've looked it up, I see that it was really more about fondue sets [http://snltranscripts.jt.org/75/75snamibia.phtml] ~ how fickle is memory!). Anyway, this very well-written column by Boyd Matson offers a fuller and, of course, truer picture of that country, one of the most sparsely populated on Earth: http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/traveler-magazine/unbound/namibia/
