After 29 hours of traveling and moving forward 10 time zones, we finally made it to Johannesburg. We spent two nights there, and we spent our full day touring around Soweto. Today we flew from Jo'burg to Durban, and then drove to Pietermaritzburg. For the next 10 weeks, we will be staying at the African Enterprise (AE) conference center. Where we are staying is so beautiful, it's ridiculous. All the buildings are on green hills and we are surrounded by waterfalls, mountains, a game reserve, jungle, and dozens and dozens of monkeys.
I am so glad to be unpacked and finally settled in somewhere. Our first night in Jo'burg was the first time I've slept on a bed in two weeks. Even though we're at AE, being here still feels very much like summer camp. I feel like I'm only here for a week so it will be crazy when it really sinks in that I'm here for months.
I'm loving everything so far, and I'm so stoked!
Monkeys!! haha Logan, how exciting for you! You, Megan, and Carolina are going to have the time of your lives. I wish you all the best, and please post pictures when you can!
