This week was a week full of traveling! We went to the Drakensberg Mountains twice this week! The first time was on a Saturday excursion and we did a guided tour at the Sans (Bushmen) cave paintings which is were these people (from many moons ago) lived.
It is always interesting to learn about another people with another cultural standard and way of doing things. They sure did pick a beautiful location to live in, though. The second time we went to the Drakensberg was on Wednesday.We went to see the Drakensberg Boys Choir which is a boys choir boarding school that is world known. We watched one of their performances which was ABSOLUTELY amazing. This week was finals week for the other students on campus, so things were a little less crazy than usual. Although we still did manage a homecoming dance, another epic dance, late night slip-n-slide in the rain, many coffee dates, movies, late nights, early mornings, tons of ice cream, and lots and lots of animals. We watched an amazing film called Cry Freedom which tells the real story of the apartheid era in South Africa and I recommend it to all. Clinicals were so fun (as usual) this week and I was able to work in an HIV/AIDS clinic.
The people here are so genuine and care so much about the patients. Today I started my day wonderfully with a Skype with my family followed by a cram study sesh, then coffee and a walk to see the animals, and finished off the night with pizza, a movie, and a dance party. As friendships continue to grow, so does the fun. And I have to tell you, the slip-n-slide was just about the most fun ever. So many laughs this week.
