I was just on the Wikipedia looking up Namibia's Skeleton Coast. I don't plan on going there during my visit, but I think it sounds like a fascinating place and wanted to learn a little more about it. According to Wikipedia the Bushmen of Namibia call the Skeleton Coast "The place God made in anger". That is a pretty heavy title to give a place. The Portuguese too were impressed enough by this place to call it "The Gates of Hell". That's a strong visual image. I feel kind of dinky now being from Ohio.
"I'm from the 'Gates of Hell', you know 'the place God made in anger'"
"Oh yeah? That's pretty cool...I'm from the Buckeye State"
