We spent this weekend on an Afrikaner farm in the Winterburg
Mountains. I learned so many new things! Here is a quick synopsis of the
activities that we did:
 |
| At the Top of the Mountain |
-swimming in a swimming hole and water fall
(2 different
times at different places)
-fed an eland by hand
-chase, caught, and castrated sheep
-milked cows and sprayed milk in our mouths
direct from the
udder
-chatted with each of our host families and heard
many of
the stories of life on the farm
-watched a sheep get sheared
-hiked a mountain
-rode in the back of “buckys” as our main
transport all
weekend long
-played with baby lambs
 |
| Riding in style on the back of a "Bucky" |
-ate delicious home-cooked food
-shot a .22 rifle
-toured a trophy room that contained a giraffe as
well as a
walk-in gun safe
-much, much more
It was a great weekend and completely different than any of
our other weekends here. The families that we stayed with were so kind to open
their homes to us and teach us all about their lives. The homes that we stayed
at were beautiful and the food they made was so incredibly delicious! It was a
weekend full of so many great things and I hope never to forget it. So many
great times on the farm!
