We’re here! After all he wonderful Uno games, and even an in-flight cribbage game, 36 of us have landed and spent the night in the brand new Protea Transit hotel at the Jo’burg airport. The Peace Corps seems to be a little more developed than our expectations.
Just kidding. I just had the last hot shower I may have for a long time. Same to the running water, electricity in my room, and flat-screen TV. Good way to pamper us before we get to see what the real Peace Corps experience is like.
Internet access so far is highly limited and expensive, clocking around $9 per hour or $15 per 250MB. I’m certain this won’t be the last you hear of us, it just might be a few weeks before anything else gets put up here.
Thanks to everyone who helped make our goodbyes so pleasant! We will miss you and write often!
BEST of LUCK!!! Keep the sunscreen close! It seems your spirits are high. May the stay there!
Hooray! so happy to hear you made it there safe and sound! I’m looking forward to hearing all about your time there!
Hey I found out how to find out something! Too bad about the s–l–o–w connection, but it is a connection.
Things are just honkydory here. Had to talk to Chase but I think all is OK (If we trust them).
I don’t think that picture is of Swaziland.
How much can we write?
Love you. Hugs to Krista too.
