Kalk Bay

I took one of my friends from Masi to Kalk Bay today. She is in high school and is off on holiday this week. She has never been to Kalk Bay before and loved it! She had never seen seals or fishermen pulling in their catches. It was so fun for me to share this with her, and was a great opportunity to talk about relationships and her spirituality. Great afternoon!

More about our Africa trip from another's perspective

Just thought I'd post a link to our friend Bowen's blog:

He came with us on our journey around Africa and he gave more detailed
reports about what we were up to (and posted some great pictures from
Zimbabwe). Check him out!

It was the "real" Africa

I thought I would show you a few photos of our monthlong journey across Southern Africa. It was a whirlwind trip!

This next one is of Brandon and I in front of one of the places we stayed in Zambia. We stayed at this campsite on the way up and back. The first time we arrived about 10 p.m. and so all of us stayed in one "chalet," pictured. The second time we arrived just after sundown and camped in tents.

This is the food set up for our whole trip. The orange cups are set out for our evening coffee ritual.

This is Titus on the team in Malawi. The team cooked their food over a fire for two months. They were super tough!

Here is the team in Malawi again, at their camp site in the village.

Welcome back to Cape Town!

Well, it’s been a crazy past month. We’ve traveled about 12,000 km
throughout Africa. We’ve seen mountains, valleys, beaches, lakes, arid
land and the tropics. We’ve endured chilly nights and sweltering ones
too. We’ve eaten more germs than you could possibly imagine through
local food and lived to tell the tale. It’s been an amazing trip!

I’ll blog more about specific scenarios later, but for now I just
wanted to let you know that we are back safe and sound in Cape Town.
