Mouth of the Limpopo

Jesse and I enjoyed a great hike to where the great Limpopo River empties into the Indian Ocean. Here are a couple photos. We're with PCV Russell, Tiffany and her boyfriend, Claudio, our best student, Moises, and a former student who's teaching in the area this year, Nelson.

Lesotho

Jesse and I just got back from a great vacation to the Kingdom in the Sky! We did a big circle by bus through Swaziland and South Africa to get there and back, and enjoyed great hikes and even a little pony riding! We walked on dinosaur footprints from 200 million years ago and appreciated San paintings from thousands of years ago on cave walls. It was cold in Lesotho, so we spent the week with all our layers of clothing, wrapped ourselves in lots of blankets, and enjoyed evenings in front of fireplaces. We’re feeling refreshed and ready to begin a new semester of classes tomorrow!
