So... I'm writing from an internet cafe in South Africa! I made it... although my luggage did not. Supposively it is coming in on a flight today and I should have it tomorrow. We'll see about that. The first flight to Amsterdam wasn't too bad, but the flight to Cape Town was SOOO long. MY god. I was so ready to get off of the plane and to take a shower... but it didn't happen because i realized they left our luggage in Amsterdam. Thanks KLM.
Anyway, I was greeted by Dr. Baxen who is so lovely. She picked us (meaning Terrez, Patrick, and I) up at the airport and took us to our host parents house. The house I'm staying at is beautiful. We each have our own rooms, mine with a bathroom. It doesn't feel like I'm in Africa. The house and weather reminds me of Florida, yet this reminder vanishes when my host parents start speaking. They have lovely accents and are so nice. They are very willing to help us out in our journey here.
Today Dr. Baxen took us to the local mall so we could get toothbrushes, toothpaste, change of clothes, etc. Praise the lord.
I'll write more when I can. :)
Love always!
