A “fun” talk • I gave this talk at a graduate students & faculty mixer lunch we had in the EE dept. sometime in 2000. • Rough outline • A Mets outing • An intro to US National Parks • Namibia’s Skeleton Coast – a must-see! • Crossection of NY City Underground – I think this led me into a little speech extolling the opportunities in this great city • Fall in Atlantic Highlands, NJ! M. Veeraraghavan circa 2000

The Skeleton Coast, Namibia Starts south of the Orange river, includes the whole coast of Namibia and goes 200km into Angola
The SKELETON COAST of NAMIBIA... one of the world's most treacherous and barren shorelines, the product of dense coastal fogs and cold sea breezes caused by the icy Benquela Ocean Current. Scores of ships and mariners have met their end here fostering its aura of mystery and impenetrability. http://www.iwwn.com.na/sksafari/brochure.html
Sand dunes in the Namib desert - are as high as 300m!
Camps on the trip - this one is on the kunene river near the Angolan border
