National Braai Day

Last Friday was National Braai Day here in South Africa. This means that everyone has the entire day off to dedicate to BBQ-ing. Here in South Africa, braaing (bbq-ing) is held with much respect, as it should be. The South African's love for braaing is one of the many reasons why I love it here so much. Here are the do's and don'ts of having a fantastic National Braai Day...weekend, to be exact.


                                            Go big or go home.  I got the ribs:)

                                         Create a kick back and relax type of atmosphere        

Surrounding yourself with people you love is a must.

Oh yes they did- they did the unthinkable

Dinner should be followed by delicious milk tart and tea


Note to self - take directions out before using


Nothing says party like a little  Ma- to-the-D-E-A


Cuddling with a big dog at the end of the night is optional, yet highly recommended


Exercise should be done the following day in order to work off the ribs and milk tart


Fear of deadly snakes didn't hold us back from going on a hike:)


What awaited us was worth the risk


Beautiful


Experiences are always better when you get to share them


It looks like I am contemplating the meaning of lfe, but I am really just thinking about what I want to eat for dinner.


National Braai Day = Some much needed fun and relaxation. Thank you South Africa for always being willing to slow down and enjoy life.
