the towering Sand Dunes in the Namib Desert. As quoted from a Namibian poet, being on top of a sand dune is like "being in a painting where the painter is still painting". After a strenuous walk to the top, you look out to see the sea and dunes, which look like mountains, for miles and miles, all below you. You really feel like you are in Africa!!Up on th
e top, we walked along the edge of the dune for awhile, after which finding a spot to sit down and watch the most beautiful sunset ever. One of the most peaceful moments was when a fellow group member starting singing "Sanctuary" and we sort of just submitted ourselves to silence and the beauty of the Namib Desert, after which we all joined into singing songs 
of joy to the Lord. A few of us also has a few races, which is fun because the sand is really hard to run in. I may have face planted a few times... :)The best part of the Sand Dunes is definitely running down them! Gravity has no end and the mound of sand gives you a nice soft comfort for when you do fall. I had a lot of fun racing down and barely made it past the finish line which was conveniently set up for me! I am in love with sand dunes.
