Trying something new

So I've been abysmal at keeping this blog up to date so I'm going to try something new - PICTURES! I'm targeting a few a week with (hopefully) witty commentary as an attempt to capture a small slice of (the sometimes? crazy *sheepish shrug*) life here in Mercy Ships. Bon appétit!

EuroCup 2012

Just took in the España - Italia EuroCup finals over some pizza at an Italian café here in Tenerife. It was the only place nearby with open seats...

We've arrived in Spain!

Golden Hour

Magnificent sunset tonight.

Sunset over the Atlantic

A strange moon-like sunset tonight. Pretty though.

Drakensberg

Starting out, confident and full of energy.

Last weekend we rented a car and drove to the Drakensberg. Beautiful country right near the border of Lesotho, we hiked/climbed a bluff about 600m tall. The pictures can tell the rest of the story after the break.

Shembe

Shembe is one of the local Zulu religions which has gained popularity in recent times. On Saturday's, you see "Shembe circles" scattered across the countryside. It's essentially a blend of Christian moral principles with local beliefs and as such strays heavily from the Gospel. If you were looking for something new to pray about, here's a good candidate.
