More Adventures

Hey all -

These computers don't have thumb drive access at the cafes. So no pics for now. Trips been good, but gotten more challenging. We visited Baphumalele and the townships. For as far as you can see are tin roofed houses and many people trying to sell anything on the road side they can. Bap as it is referred too is a great project, but so sad to visit all the orphans and know that it is one of the better funded projects in SA. I only got to visit for a few, but it was tough. I'll spend a half day there this week.

I rested some yesterday, the jetlag still kind of hitting me though I tried to ignore it.

Today I went to church, we marched for 30 minutes as part of the world wide celebration of 100 years of the Nazarene church. It was cool to be celebrating on the other side of the world, but knowing many back home were also. They had some great music and dancers as part of the service. The service was English instead of Afrikans just because i was there! Can you imagine? Such a generous and warm people.

We had a great lunch after. Then my tour guide host took me and a Bap American volunteer to the Water Front. We had a great time walking around checking the sites, seeing all the gorgeous African art and crafts work and hearing some awesome street side musicians.

Busy week ahead. I'll try to figure out the picture thing soon.

Be well,

MO
