I have a truly beautiful life… And while most people may think that has something to do with living a real-life adventure in Lesotho, it’s so much more than that… I have a life full of truly beautiful people.
Over our school “Spring Break” this past October, I decided to go spend the week with one of my favorite people in all of Lesotho: my amazing friend, Makabelo. Her family graciously opened their home to Zoe and I for the week, and we had an absolutely amazing time! We spent all week cooking with her kids, enjoying a braai on Lesotho’s National Independence Day, and learning how to make patterns for and sew traditional seshoeshoe dresses!
Lily (6 y/o) was an amazing help when Zoe and I cooked Mexican food for dinner one night! Left: Rolling out homemade tortillas! Right: Zoe and Lily with lots of yummy goodies for Spanish rice!
CUPCAKES! Zoe and I surprised the kids by showing them how to decorate cupcakes with icing and sprinkles! We love when sharing American culture can be edible!
We had WAY too much fun playing around with the kiddos!
Peace Corps Volunteers…
Spreading bad dance moves around the world…
Since the 1960’s! HA!
Makabelo’s husband, Rich, is simply beyond fabulous… We had a delicious braai to celebrate our first Lesotho National Independence Day in country! It was complete with delicious grilled chicken, our favorite traditional foods, wine, and truly wonderful Basotho friends! Zoe and I felt right at home… It made me appreciate how far we’ve come in this past year, and how lucky I feel to be living in this incredible country, with such amazing friends!
Makabelo, Me, and Zoe
With Love from Lesotho… Mary E.
