Feb. 6th, 2007---Arrived in beautiful South Africa!!!

Well we have arrived in South Africa and are enjoying being able to peel off the layers of clothing. Thank God for warmth. I am still battling my cold and cough as well as having little to no voice. So not only do I have an American accent but I also sound like I am dying. South Africans love it.
Our first evening consisted of none other than Thea’s (host mother) full 8 course meal. Seriously this woman makes a Thanksgiving meal every meal. In the late evening she had heard me having a coughing attack and came to my window to pass some cough medicine through the window. It cracked me up cause where else but in Africa is everything done outside. She could have easily come down the hallway to my room instead she chose to use the outside window. This is why I love Africa…being outside anytime I like. Eat outside, play outside, shower outside (ok that is a lie) but about everything can be done outside.
