Just a quick update, because I have to pay for the internet at the hotel, but I knew you all would like to know that I arrived safely, zero problems.
Once I arrived in London, I was able to meet up with Chelsea (a girl in my program) and we explored London together. Pictures will be along shortly. Big Ben, Parliament, changing of the guard, lots of awesome statues and other cool things just to name a few. Then we went to the airport.
Flight from London to Capetown also went smoothly, had two seats to myself which made trying to sleep easier. Arrived in Capetown at 10:30am this morning and got picked up by CIEE staff and taken to the hotel. Where I could shower! Then out to lunch and back in time for orientation meeting number 1. Many more tomorrow. After a short nap we explored the town a little more and ate supper. Most of us are retiring early tonight especially having traveled the past two days straight with little sleep. Meetings all day tomorrow, and then a trip up Table Mountain!!!
It is SO BEAUTIFUL here. So beautiful. I cannot form words yet to adequately describe this. Perhaps when I have more sleep.
peace and love

We are so thankful that your trip was safe and uneventful...except for great events in London :)
ReplyDeleteTable Mountain tomorrow. You already know how spectacular it is. We are so excited for you. I messaged Edna Rich to let her know you were there and to connect her to your blog.
Sweet dreams. That first night in a bed after two nights in the air is nothing short of heavenly!
