Vacation...Yea baby!

So last week I got to go on my first true vacation since arrive 6 months ago.  About 7 hours drive south of where I live is a hidden getaway called Obadu. Tucked away in one of the highest points in Nigeria (5,000 ft) Obadu can give the illusion that your not actually in Africa, but rather somewhere in the rockies.  

Unrealized until I arrived, it was some much needed time off.  I spent four days relaxing at a pool which sat at the base of 360 degrees of mountain viewing, hiking to and swimming at some of the many waterfalls, and eating my first "true" steak since arriving.  While it was tough to leave I'm glad to be recharged and back in swing of things here in Jos.  

Here some pictures from the trip:


That's right...there was diving board


And a slide

This would be the village I'd want to live in

This was an hour hike at like a 40 degree slope...not for the babies

The hike was worth it when you made it to the falls
