An exciting outing…

This is a picture of Kitso and Nomsa. These girls used to live in Palapye but have now moved near Mahalapye (about an hour or so away). We decided one Saturday to take a group of our friends to go visit these girls to see how they were doing. We were leaving Kitso’s house in the truck and suddenly heard the sound of crushing metal. When we pulled the truck up we realized that we had hit the water pipes and water was uncontrollably spraying from the pipes. It’s Africa, so everyone walking by tried to help and after much tugging on pipes and numerous people getting soaked, the water became a small trickle. The family was really nice about it even though they were going to have to wait until Monday to get it fixed! We were simultaneously embarrassed and amused…but like I said it’s Africa…crazy things like this seem to happen and no one really cares.

Here’s a picture of some of the group that went on our crazy outing.
