Speechless in Windhoek

I had the incredible honor of meeting Mr. Andimba Toivo ya Toivo yesterday.  I knew I would be meeting him, but when I entered his office, I became overwhelmed with emotion.  We were shaking hands and it would have been appropriate for me to say my name, but I couldn't get it out.  He asked me my name, and I was SPEECHLESS!!!  For those who know me, you will realize that this doesn't happen.....ever!  I was so overcome, I struggle to get "Deborah" out.  He asked me my family name, and it took what seemed like a lifetime to finally say "Robinson".  Ndilipo Shikomba, the daughter of former SWAPO life prisoner Gaus Shikomba who is taking me around and her friend Amelia, were probably very surprised at my reaction.  I was also, but it was an incredible honor for me to meet one of the founders of SWAPO.  He was the former SWAPO Secretary General and one of the great leaders of Namibia.  After my initial emotional response I was fine and we spent at least an hour talking, taking pictures and joking around.  If THAT weren't enough, later in the day, he invited me and Ndilipo to dinner with his family and friends at a restaurant!!  Yesterday was an incredible day!here to edit.
