Hi all!
Greetings from Lesotho! Last night we had a lovely dinner at the Maseru Sun, which is a hotel in Lesotho's capital city. The food was great and everyone had a fun and relaxing evening. It was an open buffet so we all had PLENTY to eat. Little did we know, we had dinner with the king. AKA we saw his car and the mass amount of security as we were leaving. Though we were still full from last night's meal, we had a chance to work all that food off this morning on our hike up Thaba Bosiu.
Thaba Bosiu is known to be the most sacred place in Lesotho. In 1833 King Moshoeshoe, the founder of Lesotho, united all the clans on top of Thaba Bosiu because of its natural protection from enemies. During the day the mountain looks accessible, however once you begin the ascent the mountain seems to grow in front of you. Regardless of this tale, we were able to make it to the top, after frequent breaks. We took a ton of great pictures and saw the final resting place of the great Moshoeshoe and his descendents. This afternoon we came back for some lunch and a little free time before we had a guest lecture on Lesotho culture. As we look forward to this evening we are hoping for no rain so that we attend a bonfire at one of our previous worksites.
Have a great weekend,
Danielle Remington (Hi mom, dad, Chris, Josh, grandma!! Miss you all and love you!)
