Today we hiked in the Drakensburg Mountains

In case you're a little rusty on your Afrikaans, Drakensburg means dragon mountains.  If that's not awesome enough, half of the hike looked like Braveheart and half looked like Lord of the Rings (Apparently, they actually did some set modeling for Lord of the Rings in those mountains).  It was so unreal.  We hiked up to some Bushmen cave drawings that were pretty rad.  Of course, we did a little humming of some songs from Lord of the Rings along the way.  On our way back, we were pretty tired from killing orcs and stealing treasure from Smaug, so we decided to stop and chill in the river for a while.


When we got back to campus we had dinner and 7 of the guys watched the Patriot on a projector.  It was awesome.  We need to do man things more often.  All this estrogen has seriously been wearing on all of us (not a joke).  In case you didn't know, our group is made up of 11 guys and 44 girls.  So seriously, we're all pretty drained and irritable.  I love several of the girls here, but I wouldn't mind a couple weeks without seeing a single female.  So, rant over.  We need to do man things more.  Here's some pictures!
