After talking to some good ole Kenyon friends, I realize two things. 1) I'm starting to miss Kenyon and all of you guys.... and 2) I need to update this here blog.
This weekend we had Friday off for National Heritage Day or National Braii Day. Just a reminder, Braii here means BBQ so basically we have a day off from school for "BBQ" day. It was great. To take advantage of this, I decided to go camping with Matt and his friends (I know... unlike me). I actually really liked it! I definitely want to camp again at some point while I'm here. We went on Friday morning and only stayed one night, so I guess it wasn't a long camping trip, but it was camping none-the-less. Here is a picture of the boys setting up the tent, and the final product:
The tent was a four-person tent, but we put 6 people in it. And not small people, for that matter, the boys there were HUGE. They all play/played rugby and/or water polo. So it wasn't the most comfortable thing in the world. Also, out of the five other people in the tent, 4 of them snored. Loudly. Which is to say, between the small amount of personal space, snoring, and discomfort of the ground, I did not sleep so well. It was fun, regardless. While we were getting settled in, some of Matt's friends went out fishing and caught a decent sized fish! It was a bass and they cooked it and ate it for dinner. Here's a pic of it.
After catching the fish, I watched them gut it which was disgusting. Here's a pic so you can see.
After dinner we played some rugby and the sky turned this unreal pink color. Here are pics of our evening activities:
And because I don't like fish (although I did try it in my homestay), there was plenty of meat for me to eat that the boys braiied. Here's a pic:
The next day we went boating out on the river near us. It was beautiful.
