Hello from South Africa! This is the first time that I've had internet in 2 weeks so I have a lot to catch everyone up on. I'm in an internet cafe right now so I'm just going to write quick and then write more sometime this week. I spent the last 10 nights in a rural area (what they call a township here) called Zwelethemba. I stayed with one of my really close friends on the trip and my family was amazing. We had a 13 month old hostbrother who was probably the cutest baby that I've ever seen.Zwelethemba was defintiely my favorite place that I have visited so far. The people were absolutely amazing. People were always singing and dancing - everyone was just so full of life. Last night I got to Cape Town. I'm staying with a Muslim family here in a part of the city called Bokapp. There are only two people in our house, a grandmother who we call Ommee and a 20 year old host brother. All of the other people in my group are in houses right on the same street as me. It's nice to be so close to everyone. The food here is a lot more like home than I had expected. We have a lot of barbeques, it feels like summer! I'll post again soon. Be home in 3 weeks! Where did the time go?

Made it to South Africa!

Made it to South Africa. It's absolutely amazing here!  The weather is gorgoeous. It's spring and sunny and you can actually see the sky! Tomorrow morning I head to the rural area for 11 nights. I'm living in a homestay there with my friends Danielle and Jeff. I will post more when I can.
