Trip to the beach!

On Saturday morning Misty and I headed to Port Alfred (a coastal town about 45 mins away) with Misty's mentor teacher!  Her sister owns a Bed & Breakfast there and generously gave us a discount on a great room.  It was amazing!  We were able to lay on the beach (without a sweatshirt) for the first time since I have been here.  Although it wasn't super hot, it was definitely warm enough to lay in a bathing suit and it felt glorious!

Sunday we went horseback riding on the beach!  I had never done this before and it was absolutely wonderful!  We rode about 15 minutes outside of town to a horse farm to meet a group of 3 other people and 2 guides.  We rode through the hills and then on to the beach.  Although it was extrememly windy, it was absolutely lovely! I have always wanted to do this and never expected to have this opportunity in South Africa!  This weekend was like a mini (much needed) vacation and it was awesome!
