Welcome to Jo'burg
About 3 hours from landing in Jo'burg I decided I better psych myself out for being in SA for 4.5 months...but Luke, the Korean businessman next to me kept chatting.
Yesterday (day 2) it hit me....you should see the size of the birds here! It's enough to make anyone realize they're not in America anymore. Plus it's hotter than hell.

It's amazing here! Much different than what I remember from 8 years ago. There's tons of development going on throughout the city in preparation for the 2010 world cup (go Bafana Bafana!!).

But the best thing here is hanging out and grooving around town with the family!


So far so good!!

Til Next Time

I'll have the first comment
Hey - glad to hear everything's going well so far in Jo'Burg. I know what you mean about the birds...I always thought that the pelicans by the beach should check out the rest of the city to give us something interesting to look at. I guess they feel different about it. Anyhowsen...keep having fun and I look forward to your next blog. P.S. I like your writing style. Very good!

Disbelief
I still can't believe you are in Africa. You are so far away from me! But closer to me than those fools in Cali. :-) It was great hearing your voice today! (Once I realized it was you that is.) Love you and keep us posted on all of your endeavors with rehabing the monkeys. I love you!!!
