Senior Retreat at Lesedi Village

 

In March we went to Lesedi Village about an hour away from Johannesburg for a Senior

couples retreat

These cuties took us to our rooms (huts)

This was the entrance into our room - be careful make sure you duck

 

 

Lots of art work everywhere

 

 

The village was a mini Polynesian center type

 atmosphere.  They told us about the cultures of five different South African Tribes. 

 

 

 

I can't remember the names of any of the tribes but it was interesting

 

Beautiful baby - just another visitor to the village but so cute

The guys and girls performed traditional native dances - very physical and athletic

 

We had game nights,

Discussions and instruction

Private drum lessons

We did lots of sovenier shopping - these ladies specialize in beading

Talked Elder Bishop into getting a safari hat and a drum (don't know how we'll get it in our suitcase but it's cool)

 

We were highly entertained

We rode a tram to the top of Hartbeesport (Elder Bishop and Elder Leavitt were lagging behind us) yes the wind was blowing

We had a great time and it was a much needed "retreat" from the mission office.
