The Million-hour Tour and Mid-week Mudfight!

This blog post is going to be out of order. On Feb. the 28th we embarked on a LONG journey to visit some Zulu battlefields.
This was our tour guide, Tony:
After five hours, we arrived at Isandlwana and we were given 30 minutes to run around.
I tried to hike to the top of this mountain, but I ran out of time. I got back to the bus with a few ticks on my clothes. I was okay... don't worry. This is the last place the British ever wore their red coats in battle because it was the worst defeat in their history up to that point!
My friend Megan took this photo, and I decided to draw simba in there... :)
We also went to Rorke's Drif, where an incredible battle took place. The British somehow beat the 3,700 Zulu's with only 120 men! It was an interesting tour, and great to see where the battles that we have been learning about took place, but I'm not sure it was worth spending the ENTIRE day on the bus! I had some great conversations, though.

A few days later a group of us decided to swim in the "water hole" which is on campus here.
It swiftly turned into a big mud fight...

I had my last day at Mason's clinic. It's in such a beautiful location- I wish I could work at a place with this great of a view all the time!

  1. This is Tamara, but when I sign in with my email, it shows me as my husband??? Anyway, I missed this blog somehow and I just read it right now... that picture with Simba is HILARIOUS!!! You are so clever. It looks like a professional picture. The rock is perfect. It looks just like the movie!
