About My Blog

---

I just want to mention that my blog is really a journal of my experience in South Africa. Since my computer was broken for 3 of the 4 weeks during which I volunteered, I am posting everything now. I am setting the Entry Date as to when the events took place. Please excuse any mixed tenses. I am trying to write in the past tense, but know that at times it gets a little muddy. I tend to reread and correct my writing many times, but at this point, I really have to post everything as is. Feel free to skim the long entries and enjoy the pictures. I thought I would feature some pictures that highlight my experience with this post. It was hard to pick, so put myself in action. They are also in chronological order.


I most of my blog entries there are more pictures below the writing and they may continue on to a second page.


I hope that my blog gives you a glimpse into my experience in South Africa.

Photos

10 weeks old
The LIon Park had 4 10-week old, white lion cubs.

Gonubie, SA
Nice hair? The wind was whipping all weekend.

A Final Photo Opp
One of many final pictures on our last workshop day in the Eastern Cape.

Alpacas Spit!
I fed the Alpacas at The Lion Park, but if you stop they spit at you. That was not pleasant!

Owl at Spier
The owl looked away from me so many times, I wondered if it didn't like me.

Hiking
We also hiked to the spot behind me where you can see tiny, little people up high.

Fun Day Trip!
We drove to the National Park that contains The Cape of Good Hope.

Hiking in Rain Forest
This is was in Mt. Sheba.

Catfish anyone?
I was the only one to catch fish when on Safari. I'd never even been fishing before.

3 Rondovals
Rondovals are traditional round houses in South Africa. They usually have a thatched roof. Behind us here are mountain tops that look like rondovals.
