Hello Abbott and hello to our families from Africa!
Posted by Annemarie in : Africa , trackback
Wow, our great adventure is going really well.
Our service work in Capture in Botswana was amazing. It is an extremely rural community that is rarely visited by westerners. The kids were amazed by our bus and cameras. Together with locals we put up a swing set and played soccer in the street. The service project was great, hard work and we teamed up to get it done!
We are now in Ngepi Namibia at our best campsite. It is right by the river where we are going to canoe Saturday. It has Green grass and beautiful green trees. We have been in very desolate desert so this is like we are in an enchanted forest. The tables at are campsite are cool, made of canoes,
We celebrated Nicole Bauthier birthday with some funny games, gave her a necklace and had a goofy relay race. We have two more birthdays to celebrate, Kelsey Siwek and Laura Alhach.
The awesome wildlife part is coming but most of us have seen Giraffe, elephants, warthogs and Kudu. The Makgadikgadi Salt Pans in Botswana was a huge highlight. Wide open spaces which we explored with quad bikes, We flew kites and danced under the stars. The weather at night has been cool.
We will try to call home in the next three days. We are really sorry there has been absolutely no opportunity to call and try to send you pictures.
We are loving the AAVE life!
