Trip to Talismanus

There is so much work to do on the farm, and now that there are older kids they can at least help out. There is a borehole nearby but there have always been problems with it and now someone, usually Uncle Otniel, has to go to Talismanus every weekend to get water and bring it back to the farm. This is especially critical when there are so many people on the farm at once. So we went along in our car to Talismanus. In the three years since we were last in Talismanus it seems to have grown some with a new restaurant, shop and takeaway. I especially like going to Talismanus in order to buy what they call ‘Herero bread.’ It is a dense homemade raisin bread and just delicious with the sweet tea that they serve on the farm. The water is fetched from Uncle Emmanuel’s place, so we spent quite a bit of time there visiting with him too.
