Finally we have a group photo with everyone present! This was taken our first night in South Africa, at Huckleberry's Restaurant. We were all fed delicious baked potatoes with various toppings and a salad and had our first legal glass or wine (or bottle of beer or water in some cases). Since then of course, as you've read, we've moved on to see beautiful villas in Pretoria, impoverished villages in Alexandra, and an incredible safari in Honeydew. The trip so far has been an obvious juxtaposition of first and third worlds. Living in the Heia Safari Range for the last 2 days has been incredible. I feel like a celebrity with endless amounts of money to spend-- I mean, did you ever imagine that you could wake up, look outside your window and see a Giraffe eating from your tree? Well we pretty much all experienced that. But just a few kilometers away is a squatters camp where people have made their own tiny little homes and walk to a from their market cart--or work-- every day. And as I'm sure you read about, Alexandra was a town full of poverty, and yet people were still so pleasant! It's been incredible to be able to see both sides of South Africa, and to experience the true Africa as a group. Tomorrow we fly to Cape Town-- I'm sure there is plenty more to see there and plenty more dichotomies to explore. Til then, keep your fingers crossed for smooth sailing!
