Blyde River Canyon
Secret swim spot in the third largest canyon in the world. Funny thing is, it felt just like summer in Oregon.

Marula beer // Sarah’s mom
But, the most popular thing to do with marula in the villages is to brew marula beer. It’s pretty lethal stuff after fermenting in the hot sun for a week (most of the men are drunk all the time). We wanted to try it, so Sarah’s 79-year-old mom gave us a bottle of some that she made. It was still pretty mild, but it definitely worked and we didn’t get diarrhea or anything!
Marulas
Summer in Limpopo means marula time. Everywhere we go there are marula trees dropping fruit. Seriously, it hurts when you get hit in the head. But the fruit is da bomb and sorta tastes like a tart mango guava (The marula tree is part of the mango family). I love traveling so much because no matter where you go, you get to try new flavors. Anyway, the marula is eaten by ripping open the peel with your teeth and then sucking on the juice and then popping the whole seed in your mouth and sucking/biting on the fleshy membrane around the seed. OK, that sounds disgusting, but it’s so good. Even the elephants love marula, you can see it in their poop!

Enough
The best name ever.
We did a home visit in Sigagule village last week where I met my this funny little dude who was his mother’s fourth child so she named him Enough. A few years later she had another daughter.
