May 21 (i think) maybe 22

we drove back to cape town

had dinner

stayed at an amazing hostel that we wished we would have stayed

at the whole time. it was so nice.

we got up and went to the airport,

realizing, we got there 3 hours before our flight

(on accident).

landed in jo-burg

rented a car

and then spent a long 6 hours driving,

getting lost,

running out of cell phone minutes

trying to find a place to stay

have a terrible border crossing experience

being car sick

and having migraines.

in the morning, we were refreshed.

we drove to manzini market

then on to the kramer's site!

manzini market

with tons of stuff!

several days later i got some trinkets

and some awesome fabric

(Lo, this is where i got the fabric!!!)
-

now we're at the site!

baby chicks!!!

annabelle (L) & oliver (R)

the garden!!!!

the round hut in front is a storage house, for cotton

sus and chris's house is to the right, with the metal roof

it looks big, but it's not

to the left in front of the storage hut, is sus's "brother's" house

baby goats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

only 4 days old!

ohhh i love you floppy ears

i got you!!!!!!!

sus's mom, make (say it like this: mogg-a)

they don't smile in pics, even though they are very smiley people

so this is their "swazi" pic

on the left is Babe (say it like this bob- ehh) somebody.. i forgot his real name, but we just call him Happy Days, and sus's "dad" Babe on the right

these were taken just after church, and happy days still had his robe on.

the hut behind the men is where make and babe cook
over an open fire

technically this is the next day

sus and i walked about 3 miles to

the preschool she teaches at.

these kids are 3-6 years old

and have either 1 or 2 parents die from AIDS

so they come for several hours a day and get a free meal

and taught some cool things

like english, songs, letters, numbers....

the kid behind the girl in the pink hoodie and orange shorts

the one with the red hat and backpack was my favorite!!!
he did not take the backpack off the whole time!!!!!!!

-

so anyway, we walked the 3 miles back, and then headed to matata

(where the post office and grocery store are)

to meet Ali, sus's bestie there

and to eat and get a few groceries before our SAFARI!!!!!!!!

coming up:

animals you would normally see at the zoo, 10 feet away!!!!
