I spent last week M - F in class from 9a - 4p learning about counseling theories, techniques and tools. It was an incredible class; a wonderful group of classmates and a great instructor! Now to start working on the papers - there are 5 papers due by December 10. I turned one in already and have four more to write!
At Eden Nature Park they have a small 'village' set up with the head clan leader's hut and a shaman's hut.

One of the things we did at Eden was fish at the fishing pond.
Ben, James, Kirsten had a great time catching tilapia.
The workers cleaned them for us and we brought them home and ate them! YUM!!!!!
