Well since I haven’t been bloged at all so far on this trip, I figured that I would on load all my thoughts and experiences thus far. What is there to say about South Africa other than amazing. There is beauty in every aspect of this country and it is nothing short of inspirational in its places, people, culture, and of course history. On our first day here in Cape Town our tour guide told us that South Africa is a country of contrast. Contrast in its culture, environment, and in its economy.

I just got all my shots for the trip finally and ouch! I had to get four, two in each arm! I'm glad to be finishing up the fall semester and begin J-term. I find myself reading and rereading the Itinerary for the trip. I'm getting so excited to do all the amazing things we have planned.
