Finally Writing From Africa

Saniubona! (Hi!) Sorry to have taken so long to get anything up. Im at the SIT house right now in between zulu class and a class on the history of the area were living in. The trip was incredibly long, and the jetlag impressive. We stayed at a hostel in Jo'burg for three nights, and then took the 8 hour car ride to Durban. The ride was beautiful, it passes through farmland, the plateau lands, and then into the city. I put my feet in the Indian ocean for the first time two days, and managed to not get stung by jellyfish (unlike many others in the group) Tonight we move into our homestays where we will living for the next 5 weeks, after two nights in a hostel in Durban. We take day trips out to different areas in and around Durban on Wednesdays and most weekends, minus the first two were living with rural families. Thats all for now Salani Kahle!! (Stay Well)

  2. Saniubona! (Maybe you can do a pronunciation lesson in your next entry) It's great to read your voice again. We're glad you're settling in, getting started, finally on the move, or whatever. We're looking forward to hearing about all of your adventures. Here it's snowing/sleeting/raining. Nancy drove through the raging fury to Hartford to deliver a speech. Peter shoveled slush. Boo drank from the toilet. Emma and Sarah will have to fill you in on what they did. Salani Kahle. Or as they say in these quaint parts...see ya.
    Peter and Nancy
