African Speers: I would walk five hundred....

Hallo, welcome, there are pictures at the bottom of this if your A.D.D. :)

So maybe you are thinking, man they have a great room and get to hold baby lions they are living the life. The thing that the pictures may not accurately portray is the fact that we feel much like Rapunzel, well I guess there are stairs but many times a day we have to climb a billy goat trail to get to our tower. The first few times there was definite concern over our cardiac health. But our room is nice :)

Walking and more walking during the week, so we thought we would take a hike on the weekend just for a change of pace. We ended up going down to the Drakkensberg (click to see map) means dragon mountains or range, nice and foreboding. We had a nice drive down there and the mountain really just come up out the plains not really much in the way of foothills. We did and amazing hike, some canyoneering like what can be found in AZ, and then there was some chain ladders and root ladders which were new to us, but very cool. We did a hike called the Amphitheater on Saturday and Sunday we tried to do the Sentinel one of the largest chain ladders around. The winds were gusting way too hard so we had to just take some pictures in the strongest wind any of us have ever been in. Videos give you a better idea but some pics are below of both.

Work is going well almost 5/8's done and we are going to be finished we hope in about 2 or 3 weeks. Food is good (most asked question by far).

We had our C.O.'s visit this week, he was Afrikaans (old dutch) and was maybe a little more straight forward than what we are used to. In service you have the whole group go to 1 territory, I asked a few brothers why they did that way, no one knew heh. But it is pretty fun, and no one seems to care in the territory so I guess why not.

Well hope all our well, look forward to hearing what is happening with you on the other side of the pond.
Cheers--Speers
