Spirit Animal, Ping Pong, Mad Shiskebabs

Had a ballin' Saturday. Started off with a hike up Nkoma mountain. Took us a while to figure out where a trail starts on the mountain, but the last place we got directions from had a dog of this caliber:


He led the way through the maize maze and did the entire 2 hour hike with us.


There was one point where we had to climb up a big steep rock and we all thought there was no way he could make it. He backed up a couple paces and owned it in one bound.


Here's where we stopped. Beautiful views:


That's Z, an ENT surgeon who has been visiting for a week with Carol Shores and a surgery resident named Jessica. Their good company has also brought good weather. Seems like rainy season decided to pause just for them.

Returning back to the guest house, I put the finishing touches on the ping pong table I've been building:


As requested, here's a photo of me with the table, in the Sauconys, eating a cookie. Thanks pops:


We then prepared and barbecued up a ton of shiskebabs:




It was a good day.
