A visit from Dylan

My good friend Dylan Riessen came and visited during December. He's working in Cape Town this year for Grassroot Soccer (GRS), and was able to come out during the holiday break. We had a terrific trip in Lesotho and South Africa, and were accompanied by fellow PCV Mary and other GRS intern Sam. No pictures are currently known to exist of the South Africa portion, but I will update this post if I receive any new information. Maybe some day you'll run into me or Dylan and we'll tell you all about it. One highlight was our rental car, a Nissan Hardbody. See if you can spot it.

UPDATE: Mary has found a picture from South Africa.

Dylan took a picture of me in my natural habitat.

Scenic overlook. It was just overlooking some waterfalls or something.
But take a look at that Hardbody!
The mighty Senqu River.

Do they have horses at Sehlabathebe National Park? You bet!
On our way to Tsoelikane Falls, ascending a hill with a fine rock outcropping.
Tsoelikane Falls. The water was cold.
Look at that!

Dylan doing an honest day's washing.
When my host father heard we were going to town and then saw how dirty
 the Hardbody was, he said "The know me in town, and they know I do not
 like things to be dirty." Together, we gave the Hardbody a thorough cleaning.
