For the past couple weeks I have been planning to have a group of PCVs (Peace Corps volunteers) come up to Semonkong. My purpose was selfish. I wanted people to see how beautiful this place is and also just wanted to hang out. A year ago a volunteer from another organization helped the local community to set up a donkey pub crawl that would take tourists around to the seven bars, pubs, and local huts for a taste of the areas entertainment.

In total I think we only had two people fall off their donkey by the end of the day though one of those fell twice. Robbie got a guy he knows in Maseru to make up some t-shirts which are going to be pretty awesome. The food, the fun, and the drinks were great and hopefully everyone sees that Semonkong is pretty awesome.

I don't think I will ride a donkey again, though. Mine was pretty stubborn. Rightly so, I suppose. I think I weighed just about as much as the donkey! Hopefully in the future the community guides won't get such small donkeys. At least I found a few town kids I knew who wanted to ride my donkey after the donkey and I had both given up.
