Hello all! We've arrived in Mthatha and a friend and I randomly stumbled across an internet cafe---yay! We're also finally back to civilization after a long week in Kokstad. All of us in the group joked about forming a Real World-Kokstad, where everyone just goes crazy due to the lack of civilization! That would certainly be interesting airtime!
Anyway, not much going on here. We're just on a lunch break after a 2ish hour drive. The drive was beautiful. Unfortunately I couldn't take any pictures, but we went right through the Drakensbergs the whole time. One of the funniest things about the drives here is the livestock right in the middle of the road! Yesterday while a group of us went for a quick trip to the grocery store, we were stopped by about 50 cows just walking in the middle of the road! Also, while on my run yesterday, I passed by a sheep farm and every single sheep looked at me as I ran by. Silly animals :-).
Yesterday we had yet another braai, but this one was prepared by our bed and breakfast hosts. They are awesome cooks and it was certainly the best braai yet. I was actually not too excited about the braai beforehand because they have not been that great the last few times, but this one was excellent. Great chicken, some really good potato bake stuff, couscous salad...carrot cake...the food was amazing! Other than that, we had a very laid back day. I did about 3.5 miles, came back in and took a bath, and then laid by the fire with a few friends from the trip. I am making some really great friends here, which I'm really excited about because they all go to State! We even have one with a possible wedding in the near future!
That's all for now. I'm assuming I'll be able to access internet again soon, so keep checking! I can't wait to show you all my photos!

Hi Erin,
I'm glad that you're finding some foods that you really like. I look forward to all of your blog entries and can't wait to have you home to talk about all of your experiences. Can't wait to see your pictures!. By the way, the cats, after 3 weeks, are finally friends. They play together and hang out together. Olive is downstairs with us whenever we are home. She still likes to go up to your room when she wants time alone. Her favorite spot is perched on a shelf, on top of your clothes, in the closet. However, the door to your room remains open so she can come out whenever she wants. Enjoy your last week there. I think of you and your experiences constantly. Love you lots! Mom
