Easter Weekend - Camping at Nsobe

Easter weekend was spent at a place called Nsobe (45 minutes from home). Sue got a head start and setup camp on Wednesday -- we joined her on Thursday for 3 nights! The weather was FABulous -- full MOON and gorgeous sunny days!!
Kristi taking in the sun! Swimming, hiking, and even a game ride were at hand.
We visited the piggery & the fish farm. We were astonished at the amount of pigs on the farm. Did you know they have 1 Bore to 15 Sows? poor lad! And 2 weeks after delivery, the sows are put back to be 'serviced' again, as they call it. After 7 litters, they are usually placed to slaughter. The litters can be as big as 16 l'l piggies. The sows can be as large as 180kg!

Fiona & Mark manage Nsobe and we enjoyed a private tour to discuss future plans with Mark & his 2 little ones on Sunday before we left for home...

Hey Trace – just thinking about you today and hoping all's well. Spring is finally coming here and it's raining today. There's been a ton of snow, but it's mostly melted now…just the snowbanks are stubbornly holding on!!

Can't wait for you to come home (assuming you're not heading to BC or Beijing!?!?). You're very missed by tons of people and like I've said before, there's definitely a Tracey "hole" here.

Even bookclub where I think we're missing a little bit of energy without you…just seems like you connect with people as well as connect other people so well.

Hope you're still well. Can't believe there's only 2 months to go for you!!

have a wonderful day...
Laura
