Rio Savane


After a pretty intense week of working in villages (and living without power!), we were all pretty excited for our beach day.  Work hard, play hard!

Our boat to cross Rio Savanne and get to the beach

Me chatting with the boat drivers

The whole area feels like a little resort paradise: palm trees, sandy
volleyball courts, little hotel cabins.

I don't know why jumping into, over, and through ocean
waves is so fun, but we sure did a lot of that!

Of course, as part of our day's festivities
 I organized the building of a sand castle...

..complete with a drawbridge, moat,
and the beautifully landscaped North Gardens.  
Our castle, however, often came under attack...

Secure the hatches!  Attack on the southern border!

Lunch was a delicious affair--the flies thought so too!

  1. I know you're not in South Africa which is basically Great White Shark capital of the world but keep in mind you're not too too far and sharks can swim to other places...just keep that in mind when the water is getting close to waist level okay?! The picture of you all in the waves is giving me anxiety!
