3/4 of the way there.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I am in Johannesburg and at Pieter's house. We just got back from a great burger restaurant called Dros. Their hamburger buns are gigantic and their pickles taste funny, but a cow still tastes like a cow over here. I'm exhausted but Mason and Pieter won't let me fall asleep yet because it is only 8 p.m. over here. It hasn't even been 24 hours since I left the U.S. and I am already dying and feeling like I've been here and been traveling for a few days now. I miss home and everyone so much already.

Delta didn't get my bag on the plane, so now I won't have my hiking pack until Monday. Mason and I are going to still fly in to Bulawayo tomorrow as planned, but we will just have to stay there at Pierre's house until the Bulawayo airport receives my bag and then Chris will come pick us up and take us to the farm! Thankfully I have just enough medicine until Tuesday night so that is relieving, and I have travel sized soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, toothpaste, and a toothbrush. The fun in the situation is that I am stuck in this floor length black skirt, chacos or toms, a white tank top and a thin blue tshirt, and a fleece until Monday. Go Africa!

Once I get to the farm, then I will be helping Norma make mosaic cabinet things for women in the villages. I love arts and crafts, I love Norma, and I love African women, so I am stoked.

An opportunity arose where I might be able to get a real cheap flight to Cape Town at the end of our trip to possibly stay with my friend Emily and visit my friend from school, but also just to see how beautiful it is since I have come this far already. I would stay for 2 nights I think and still fly back with Mason from Joburg to Atl on our scheduled departure date. I would hike Table Mountain, maybe see Robin Island, go wine tasting, visit friends, and see stunning scenery!! We're also gunna go see a Rugby match in Pretoria on August 6th! Ballin'. We'll see.. I have a long time to decide on plans.

Just wanted to give you an update!! Love you all!
