And sometimes you need a break...I had the opportunity to go to Lesotho April 27-May 1 to do some pony treking with some Refilwe staff and friends. We had a wonderful time in the Maluti mountains, taking in the beauty of land that is so untouched. This was done on the back of a horse for three days, which was a new experience for me. Besides some chaffing and a sore bum, I can say it was a fabulous way to explore new areas where only the sheep, goats, cows, and shepherds live. We slept in a Basotho hut for the two nights on the trail, used cow dung fires, ate a traditional Basotho meal, tried to stay warm (there was snow on the mountain tops), and generally just had a great time! It was good to get to know some co-workers outside of work in a completely new setting. The top picture is the whole gang on the highest point in Southern Africa, which we reached on our second day out. The other pics are from the trail. My horse (whose name in English meant Laziness) needed some motivation but knew the trail well and got me home safe and sound! (For more pictures--see Facebook)
