It was the beginning of another study abroad program, the 6th one I’d led but the first to South Africa. It required a 4 hour flight to New York followed by a 5 hour layover there, and then a 15 hour flight to South Africa. We arrived in Johannesburg around 830 am and quickly moved through immigration and collected our bags. The excitement of finally being in South Africa helped me ignore my sleeplessness, and I felt pretty good other than being a little short on concentration. We went ...

I didn't sleep so well, partly because Sophia was awake from 3 am to 6 am. When Suzan awoke me at 8 am it was too late to get a run in before the 9 am class meeting. My mind was hazy from insufficient sleep and a too rapid awakening, but I hastily got ready to begin our first full day in South Africa. I showered quickly, dashed downstairs to set up the computer and projector, trying to remember all of the handouts, notes, and announcements I would need to use or mention, and wolfed down a qui...

I was awake from 1 until 4 am, and Suzan awoke me at 7:45 so that I could get ready for breakfast and class. I went on a run carrying the new Olympus camera I bought for the trip, making my way through the busy streets of Cape Town to the V & A Waterfront. I felt like an experienced urban runner, dodging traffic and probably breaking more than a few laws for jaywalking and running in traffic. I got to the waterfront about 30 minutes after sunrise, and the morning was crystal clear and com...

... was just brilliant.. Every bank note and business card on the walls from every country and peoples underwear signed and hanging in the bar! We met Ronnie and also a chap called David who is a Tour guide visiting the area. After a guiness we were chatting and David suggested we change our plans for Mossel Bay and stay across the road at a Roman Bath Spa, we thought hey why not and found ourselves in our own room with a kitchenette and a private roman bath! We had to indulge in the 42'C ...

... crowd" is actually the best advice one can be given). So all 15 people unpacked ourselves and migrated. We loaded yet another bus just to be emptied yet another time.
After about 30 minutes of this, we were told that the minibus drivers decided to go on strike today. FAN-TASTIC. So we called the clinic to see if they wanted us to continue on to a different station and get picked up there, but they told us to just go home. So we did ...
... Lion's Head and the Devil's Peak was just wonderful from that perspective. The sunset is even more impressive, I had never seen one on the sea actually. Do not forget that I come from a small region in the north-est of France where there is no sea at all, except a little river called the Rhine, so nothing to do with it! So, I let you enjoy the pictures from the waves, the sea, the ships, the ice-cream man, the pet-poo cleaner etc etc. To be ...

... much of it) ... It looks almost like we are landing on mars after all we have been through ... I have vivid memory of the sight of table mountain gradually resolving itself in front of us out of the horizion... with its afternoon blanket of cloud resting neatly atop of it ... it is quite a sight as it towers above the city commanding all to take note of its presence ... giving Cape Town its own natural monument to the force of nature as it ...

... her labor so Ntlantla was born 2 months pre-mature. Ntlantla was immediately placed into the NICU and a feeding tube was inserted. As his organs started to develop, his trachea began to grow around the feeding tube and became very narrow. Although his trachea was narrow he was doing very well and could breath on his own. After reaching only a few kilograms he was released from the hospital and put into the care of Home of Hope- since his mom didn't want to take ...

... a bunch of really cool people from the ship so I had a really great time. I actually even met people from the States, and realizing how small of a world it is, I met someone who knows some of my friends from USC. I got back to the ship really late, and therefore didn't get out of bed till 12PM the next day. We were supposed to go Great White Shark-diving but the weather was too bad for it. The waves were too big so I ended up sleeping. The day was really rainy and ...

... Mr Men - Mr Bendylegs' award for my party trick where I can turn my feet around 90 degrees. After the awards were given out we went to a few bars at which point my memory becomes a tad hazy.... I arose on Wednesday feeling pretty darn ill but tried to make the most of the day anyway. I went to the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront area which was jam packed full of shops, restaurants, bars and markets and was a really nice place to walk around - although the fishy, sea ...
