Here are some more photos of the Cedarburg Mountains from some of my friends. I was being a big baby and it was freezing cold and I didn't want to take to many photos cause my hands hurt. Luckily there are those who are much tougher then me who toughed out the cold weather to capture the beautiful views we got to experience. There are also some fun ones from camp.

Update on my life: Classes are good- busy- lots of reading, but I am keeping up as I have 4 day weekends- Life is rough. Nothing to big planned for the weekend, there is a big rugby tounament going on in south africa that we watched at one of the bars last night- I feel like such an expert since none of my friends have any idea what is going on. Also we learned that the girl to guy ratio is like 7 to 1, which is compleatly different from gunnison!! I'm not sure I like it- oh and also we were told that there the beauty of people is much higher here then elsewhere. Great SELF esteem boosters!! Every one seems to be about 5'8 and 100 lbs with beautiful hair, and clothes, oh How I miss colorado...j/k. Tomorrow we may go on a hike to find some waterfalls- although we're not exactly sure where they are so we'll see if it actually happens.

I spent another afternoon volunteering at a different place called Kayamandi. I bascially just chased little kids around, carried them on my back, or arms, or wherever they grabbed on, and let them play with my hair. I am looking to do something more though- although I feel it is valuable for kids to have this attention and love it is not something that I am strong at so itll be a good learning expreince, as well as I may try to create something more out of it - perhaps a girls program. That is what i am thinking right now- although I'm not sure how the idea would be recieved or if its even practical but that is my thoughts right now. There are at least 2 programs that the international students do for boys sports but none for girls- there may be other community programs going on that I am unaware of as well. Also, they are looking for community development volunteers and I am not sure what that entitles might be something I am interested in. Ok I guess we're off to a movie now- hopefully its not in Afrikaans!!!

Miss you all.

Games
Playing Rediculous singing and dancing games

Rainbow
And God Promised that it would be cold and windy on our hike- but we all got home safely

1st climb
We had to pass our packs up and climb throug a pitch black hole to get up

One of the climbs
This was actually pitch black I believe

The BIrthing Canal
We had to crawl hands over our heads on our backs through a very small- 1 of the boys had to find a different way because last time he got stuck for over 20 minuets in the hole- and it would not be a comfortable to be stuck there

In the Arch
It was freezing!

Paula said that she wouldn't go in the 'Birth Canal" that is too clostrophopic for her. It appears to be very dry there, hope you bring plenty of water on your hikes!
