I am really excited and very busy with details. I can't wait to see Noah and Sumalai, the happy young couple!

I begin my adventure this Sunday at 7pm! I make a connection in Amsterdam and will arrive in Cape Town around 9pm Monday night (3 AM ET). I am getting very excited for the trip! I will have an orientation first thing on Tuesday morning (Oct 20). I will be living in Southfield which seems to be a nice community outside of Cape Town.

Despite that ¾'s the length of a football field lay in front of us, we "pshawed", declined their offer, thanked them and rolled up our pant legs. Respect appeared gained. "Okay, stay in line with the telephone pole," they responded. "The rest is too deep." We trekked ...
