Independence Day

These trees are everywhere and have scary toothpick-like razors on them. They hurt a lot when they scrap you, which happened a lot to me on Independence Day.

This is my trying to learn the dance moves. About 12 teachers and I went to Bokaa Dam (about 2 hours from my school). You can see the nice water behind us. It looked like a big lake. I wasn't tempted to swim because of all the cow manure and grazing animals, but it still looked refreshing.

Our setup by the dam.

Teachers braaiing meat. Lots and lots of meat.

This is a great example of a donkey cart. Some, like this one, are made from the backs of pickup trucks. Some are actual carts though. I love that it has HUMMER written on the side.
