March 25/26

Sorry I have not been updating my blog a whole lot over the past week, the internet has been down all over town and it has been difficult to find the right time to check the cafe. On Wednesday and Thursday we spent the morning and afternoon working in the schools. Wednesday night we had dinner with our host family and discussed different kinds of English dialects in the United States. It was a pretty funny conversation because they were amazed at hearing me impersonate a southern accent. I just thought of George W. and remembered back to hearing him speak, however, I think I sounded a bit more intelligent. Anyway, on Thursday we went wine tasting at a local wine farm and sampled six different wines. It is interesting how wine is so much a part of the culture here in South Africa. After wine tasting I went out to dinner with 5 others and our professor and ate an amazing beef kebob. The food was terrific and the wine was even better.
