repelling.
just outside of jos, there is this huge rock(160 feet) that we used to go repelling. i dont exactly understand the point of climbing up a rock and then jumping down it, but hey, it ended up being a lot of fun!! Uncle Jimmy took john and i, Arron and Sara Horlings(brother and sister), and a couple who i dont remember thier names (sorry!) During the middle of our fun time, some kids came by (i think school had just ended) and watched us. they pretended to not understand english but they were just trying to make me look stupid! argh kids!! hehe! but i kept pestering them and then they finally spoke to me. i knew they were lying!! Uncle Jimmy asked them if they wanted to try it! haha! they were like, "yeah right! silly white people! you are crazy!!" and i think i would have to agree...we WERE! :-)
me, ready to take on and conquer the art of...repelling! believe me, that thing you see i'm wearing, it ISN'T comfortable!; the couple, who i cant remember their names, climbing up to get to the top of the rock.
sara horlings and i getting ready to start jumping and go down the fun part!; the kids that wouldnt speak english! cute little liars!
a side veiw of the big rock and a full view of a neighboring little rock. look at the left side of the picture and see how it looks like a wall or something? well, thats just a small part of the rock. come on, did you really think it would fit in a picture?!; a view from the top.
john coming down aussie-style!; another view of the rock from the ground.
these cute kids were crossing the road on our way back. so we pulled the van over and asked if we could take a picture! they acted really serious and prim and proper but as soon as drove off they started screaming and cheering with joy!! they had just had their picture taken!! and now look, they are on the world-wide web!! its true, they are famous now! :-)
