Hi - we are now in a mall in Polokwane - a city that gives the appearance of size between Concord and Manchester. Everyone is safe and sound - we slept in a horizontal position last night which was good for a change. We are in a condo type of complex for another night in Polokwane which is good for us to have a group meal, shower (of sorts), etc.. We just got cell phones for each other - we are looking for international calling cards so we can can call you!
The vans worked great albeit a little weird driving on the left. We are off to the village of Mamabolo shortly so that we can meet the homestays and get a feel for the area. I think we are all well rested, and now are looking forward to our new challenges and experiences. Students are doing great with going with the flow, not showering for a couple of days, and being very adaptable. Us older and more experienced folk aren't doing so bad either. Personally, I really like trying some of the local foods - but nothing too unusual yet. The people we have met at the stores, petrol station, and car rental have been very friendly and helpful so we are finding our way into the comfort zone.
We will attempt to post and communicate later when we have more to report, but for now - we are thinking of you in Laconia!
