Getting here: the flight was long. I would not have done it w/o my donut (broken tailbone that will probably never heal 100%), still a bit uncomfortable. The meals were nice, watched a few movies, didn't read any, had good company while flying, luggage did fine (all the school supplies made it. Thanks everyone!), probably packed too heavy (feels like Spring), might have to do some light shopping for lighter clothes, had a bit of trouble with electrical jacks.. that's now fixed, had a little trouble w/internet... that's now fixed. I'm really looking forward to eating local food tonight; can't wait to start our "activities" tomorrow.
Mon 15: just got settled at the B&B and will go to dinner at 5pm. The place is really nice, Port Elizabeth so far is resembling Lima: the ocean, the board walk, the road next to the ocean, the weather... we'll see about the food.
Most significant learning to date: This is just like any other developing country: obvious contrast between the upscale and the less wealthy. haven't seen extreme poverty yet.
Glad you are there. We miss you, be safe!
