I just slept a lot today. Airtime is catching up to me with
this cell phone thing. I forget I don’t have unlimited text anymore…
At night, I went with my friend Kristen and some other
Americans from AIFS to one of the residences here. The res was so cool! It was
about the size of Des and Alumni at home, if they were attached by more rooms
and were about 3 stories taller. In the middle, they had a statue of the Eiffel
Tower and a large green where they kept pet rabbits and ducks.
The res was hosting a braai and I got to meet some locals. I
spoke to one Afrikaner for a bit. He told me how he was born and raised on a
farm and is putting himself through college. He said he hadn’t spoken English
in a while, and I was surprised to hear this. I knew a lot of classes were held
in Afrikaans, but I guess it just didn’t register with me that some people know
both languages but regularly only speak one. And one I don’t understand!
I made it an early night since I have to wake up at 5 am
tomorrow for one of the greatest adventures of my life.
