So first off to Clarissa: even seeing that you posted cuz i asked started me crying then the last bit just killed me so thanks jerk. I miss sharing.. EVERYTHING with you EVERY SECOND of EVERY DAY but maybe this time apart will be good for us, hahaha :) it made me realize we have too many things that only we can laugh about, i laugh so much to myself im probably coming off as a loony to these new people in Joburg.
Either way, the whole ride home from the airport (which ended up being and hour more than needed since we missed the exit) after droppin Clarissa off Bershin and Joel wouldnt stop asking if i missed her and if i was sad. Thats basically what anyone asked who had met us both so i wasnt allowed to stop thinkin about her. I even kept introducing myself as 'we' and saying 'we did this and that in Zambia' and theyd all give me a weird look cuz i was standing alone so then i had to explain the whole Clarissa thing again. The rest of thursday I hung out with the woman/wife/mom we stayed with then picked up her daughter and son from school and got our 'American' dinner from the BP petrol station which was actually delish. Then I accompanied them to the church for 2 hours of worship practice.
Friday I accompanied Tony to his work at the jewlry store in the city. His secretary Mishka showed me around the market for a bit then had to leave so I walked up and down bardering for some things then saw an old cathedral and sat at LaVassa Italian coffee shop till Tony was off. He then showed me around the beaches in Capetown and the offices of Home of Hope where we had volunteere. We stopped by Jo Slovo which is one of the informal settlements left over from the apartide and saw the building of the new Creshe. For now they hold it in a small church and when i went in there were about 25 kids all sleeping side by side sharing blankets for nap time. We went to Campellos for lunch also.
