Here in Cape Town!

So I finally arrived in Cape Town, South Africa with 14 other co-nursing students!! Everyone is doing well & safe. So far, I am absolutely amazed, each day. Yesterday we went to Table Mountain and toured Rondebosch. Pictures don't give the area justice! The fruit and food in general is really inexpensive, and good, fresh food. I have my own room, with lots of windows and the biggest closet I have ever seen. It's pretty cold at night and early morning, so I take full advantage of this wall heater we have. No internet in the house yet, but Ben (our resident assistant) is working on it. We walked all around the city, and got to view "real life" South Africa. We clearly stand out - there are like 2 other whites in the entire city. Today Carrie-Ellen, myself, and a few other girls went running in Rondebosch commons. It was so amazing, with the mountain and city in the background early in the morning. I'll post pictures as soon as I can..but the internet situation over here is completely different than in the states. Jordan, Mom, Dad, Brett, Bryan, & everyone at home - I hope you are doing well !! I could go on & on but I'm at an internet cafe and have 2 minutes left. I have my phone, but don't have the setup to call out just yet..I'll let everyone know when things are settled.. Ok, until the next post -farewell from South Africa!!
