Another week down!

Well, I've gotten another week down of teaching! Really it was only four days though, because VG had a Games Day on Friday. They had athletic events that were run like a track meet, and then at the same time, there was a tournament of Rounders being played. Rounders is almost exactly like American baseball, but three strikes means you have to run to first base as if you had bunted the ball. There are also only three balls per walk instead of four. The girls had a fun time playing and the house I'm associated with won! A different house won the points total for the day as a whole, but Graeme house won the Rounders tournament!

The girls also didn't have to wear uniforms yesterday, but they or to wear their house colors (Graeme is green). Some of the girls had on ridiculous outfits including sparkly wigs!

We were supposed to go to Kwantu Elephant Sanctuary today to see the animals, but Dr. Baxen sprained her ankle really bad while she was out of town and is in a boot for 4-6 weeks. We are still trying to figure out how to make our excursions without Dr. Baxen to go with us and drive us :P

I will keep you updated on any excursions we do take!

Last night we hung out with some of the younger teachers from school and their friends. It was a lot of fun! We had another braai and just hung out on the deck of the house. I'll attach a picture of our view. It was amazing!
