The Chronicles of Narnia: The Beginning

I'm not going to write an introductory post because I alway think those are cheesy so here goes blogging:

Its 10 AM St. Louis time and 5 PM Cape Town time on the eve of my 21st birthday. I arrived to this beautiful city on the coast at 8 AM after about 30+ hours of traveling from St. Louis to Chicago over the Atlantic to Abu Dhabi then back west to Johannesburg and finally to Cape Town. PS the Abu Dhabi airport is like Rodeo Dr with every luxury a traveling bijillionaire might have the slightest impulse to buy. Anyway, I was met in the airport by the backpackers bus that took me to the volunteer house, which is full of only great people it seems. I spent the morning trying not to fall asleep, eating breakfast, buying groceries and eventually falling asleep for a deep mid-day nap - thus far I have no complaints :). I am eager to get to my placement soon but am really liking it here in the city too. I will keep you all updated with pictures when I take some, thus far its just been getting adjusted thats been taking up my time.
