Hey Everyone, I made it safely to South Africa. The flight was fine. I had a good seatmate and we actually had an empty seat in between us, so we were able to stretch out and have a little more room. The flight from Atlanta to JoBurg was 14 hours, and then another 2 hour flight into Cape Town. We had a full day today (cultural briefing and overview of South Africa's economy). The hotel is on the Waterfront and in a very nice, upscale touristy area. But not so nice that I didn't see a gigantic rat run across the street in the middle of the day! You know I started screaming and acting a fool. Tomorrow is pretty packed as well. I'm hoping to post pictures tomorrow. The internet was going really slow, so I'll do my best to show you Africa through my eyes as soon as possible. Thanks again for your prayers. Love, Tambra
