Made it! It is beautiful here. The family I'm staying with is fantastic. They live in a small house in a neighborhood stacked on a hill that overlooks the suburbs, which I'm guessing is slightly south of the downtown area. From the front door you can see a few miles out, all the way to the 'sea' as they call it here. They have two boys, who enjoy greatly the Colts football I brought along. :o)
The other girl in the program that I'm staying with is named Lisa, and she came in last night. She is from Michigan and has spent the past few weeks touring SA with her brother. I like her a lot already.
The younger of the boys is teaching me Zulu. He was really excited when I could pronounce almost correctly a few words that have clicks in the middle of them. (I was too!) He is a very patient teacher, much like his parents, who are both school teachers.
My timer here in the Internet Cafe is running out, so I'm out! Take care, hope to hear from you as well! Love.

Sorry, hit button to soon, I was going to tell you I have a friend that is from South Africa and is going to be there in about a week and a half. I don't know if you two would be able to connect or if that wouldn't be in the cards. But her cell number is 765-667-0068. And her e-mail is melodyhelvie@hotmail.com. So you might be have someone who could show you around some of the time your there. It is really cool what your doing there, I'm really jealous. Enjoy yourself and be safe.

Hey, I'm glad you're enjoying yourself so far! You'll have to teach me some Zulu when you get back. Who knows; maybe I have some ancestors from that area ;)
