Climbing up Thanthanyana

I've been derelict in my duty and did not tell you all about my new host brother Liteboho, who has been here at the Thamae compound for at least 6 weeks. He is a lot of fun and is going to start high school next year.

The tallest mountain behind my village is called Thanthanyana (I bet someone out there even knows what it means!), and I've always wanted to climb it (in a very lackadaisical, maybe-I'll-climb-it, maybe-I-won't way). But on Saturday, I brought up that I'd like to attempt it, and Liteboho said he would accompany me. So I found myself committing to climb on Sunday. I'll give you the full run down over the plate of buffalo wings and cold American lager you're all probably just itching to buy me, but here are a few highlight photos, including Springboks (matsa) and me trying out my camera's panorama function.
