Arrival in South Africa

We got in to South Africa at about 10:30 PM last night (430 in Michigan). The flight was very long, but I slept and watched tons of tv shows and movies. I enjoyed watching episodes of Family Guy and The Office and watching Step Brothers. After getting through customs last night I met the father of my host family. He is very nice and excited to have us visiting. We did not get to the house until about 1:00 AM. Waking up this morning was amazing. I am living in the room called "The Crow's Nest". It is called this because it located in the top level of the Taylor's large house. When I woke up at 8:00 AM I looked out the window and was shocked to see three large mountains right out my window. THis was my first time seeing mountains!This morning we all met at my host family's house and proceeded to go visit the 3 schools we will be working at. I will be at Cloetesville Secondary School with Mr. Henry teaching History and Health. I am very excited because Mr. Henry is a very funny guy who is also one of the acting principal's of the school. After touring the schools all 13 of us ate lunch at the Stellenbosch Hotel and now I am typing at the Internet Cafe in the "village". I am astonished at how beautiful the area is and amazed at how much this town feels like a European city. I will try to upload a few pics whenever I get a chance. I am sure that I have left out a ton of stuff, but I will be writing more in the next few days. I hope all is well wherever you are reading this from. Take care.
