Boxing Day

Today is Boxing Day, which is apparently a big deal here in South Africa. The beaches were full with people out celebrating. What is Boxing Day, you ask? We have no idea. How did we celebrate Boxing Day? We went for a walk to check out the masses at the beach. We had lunch with Sharon (Hans' fellow staff member) and her parents who are visiting from Canada (her mom made yummy soup with the left-over turkey... a little piece of home!) We went to the mall to return a few things (yes, there are malls in Africa... and they look a lot like the malls in the states, just with different stores.) And we cleaned our house and got ready for our camping trip. (We leave in the morning for a 5 day camping adventure. We're driving east along the coast for about 5 or 6 hours to camp with two other couples who work with YWAM Muizenberg. We're looking forward to seeing more of the country and having a little vacation before starting up our 2nd quarter of SBS. We'll be back on the 1st and classes resume on Monday, the 5th.)

We hope you are having a wonderful holiday season. Enjoy your time with family and friends... This is such a special time of year! Here's a little snapshot of what you missed on Boxing Day in South Africa...
