Mondays are the teams off days, and Monday was our last night with Blair and Becks who have been our leaders for the 2 months in Mexico and the 2 weeks here in Swaziland. So we decided to take a trip to Execution Rock. Execution Rock is a peak of a mountain range that the tribes who execute people by pushing them off and it's in this awesome animal reserve where the African animals roam free, no fences.

I drove, which is cool for me because driving is on the left side and the steering wheel on the right and it was a fun time, the cops don't really care about the speed limit....So we got there safely, and cooked up some meat we brought in a bry-pit and started the hike up the rock. Actually we didn't know for sure which way to go so we drove up the mountain in the "cumbi" or van for a bit. We saw some awesome animal's right next to us on the way up- warthog, water buffalo, gazelle, zebras, a crocodile, wildebeest, impala, an ostrich, some monkeys, some others I don't know the names of, and I got the crap stung out of my thumb by this HUGE ant.

This is kind of crazy though, as we were headed up, I was thinking of Noah's ark and the Flood because of all the animals around us and then I thought how cool it would be to find a sea shell on top of the mountain. Guess what happened? So, were all chilling at the top of this mountain, basically looking at all of the Swaz. Jon and I were walking around trying to find a good rock to boulder and as I'm freaking walking I see this sweet shell on the freaking ground! It was one of those cool spiraled ones. How nuts is that dude?!? The way God just, gives us a kiss like that ya know, it was totally awesome.
