Weekend: short, but a lot of fun!

Aghhh. The weekend always bring so much! After the long day Friday of visiting the homes we ended it by having a brie(cookout) at our principal's house. It was a lot of fun. I ate lamb, which was very tasty. It was good to be around our partnership teachers outside of school and learn more about then. We danced all night!!

Saturday- we visited Addo Elephant National Park. I was so ecstatic when I saw the lion just laying down in the grass. Our tour guide told us he hadn't seen the lion in months, until a couple of weeks ago. We saw all types of animals. The birds that we saw were so beautiful. It's amazing how close the animals can get to you. I really like that they were free to roam around. Not once did I feel like I would be harmed. Seeing animals in their natural environment is definitely a big change from seeing them in a zoo. The scenery in the park was absolutely gorgeous! I can see why it is a National Park. Also, the food that they served was delicious. I've been sticking to the same thing most places, but everywhere I go it tastes different.


Sunday- It was a very early morning on Sunday. All of the girls in the group did a walk/run 5k. Four of us walked and the other two ran. Walking was a bad choice on my part. I'm not a fast walker, so I should've done the run so that I could've had a choice. I still enjoyed it though! When we got back to our B&B (bed and breakfast) the power was off! So most of us just took a nap while our  power problem got worked out. After the nap, we had dinner and started planning for this week.
