I think today was the best day I've had in Lesotho thus far. It was a Saturday, so we had the day off of training to travel to a nearby town called Teya-teyaneng (TY) for shopping. It turns out that TY is all of 2 streets, so our shopping only took a couple of hours. It is a nice camp town though with lots of food and necessities. After we bought our stuff, we all went and spent the afternoon at the Blue Mountain Inn. This place is a nice little tourist hotel with a pool, bar, and a restaurant. Needless to say, we spent most of the day and most of our money there eating good food and drinking together in the shade by the pool. While there, I saw the first ice cubes I've found in this country. However, they were only to be found in the urinals and not in our glasses. Go figure... Afterwards, Ed and I went searching for the infamous 'pork place' of TY. It is a well known PC hangout where you buy a bunch of raw pork and they grill it up real nice for you. Well, after a bit of looking and a chance meeting with a current volunteer, we found ourselves eating some of the best pork I've had in a long time. I think we'll definitely end up back there a few times. After we got back to Berea, we went on a nice long hike with tons of gorgeous views. And now I am writing this by candlelight with a brandy and warm water by my side. The perfect end to such an awesome day!
