Jo'burg and back in contact!!We

We have finally made it to Jo'burg. A bright and early departure followed by a long drive, I am now here chillin' in my hotel room sucking in my 24 hrs of wireless internet for $10...sweet, sweet connection the outside world.

Last night's braai was a huge success and a total blast. I ate some of the best chicken of my life thanks to Willie Brown from Alabama's secret maranade. That man knows how to cook a chicken. It was such a fun bonding expereince for the whole group and it ended with a dance party to Neil Diamond and Duran Duran...under the stars...in the Drakensberg mountains. Love love love it all.

Here are a few more pictures from our stay in the Drakensberg.

Here is the picture of the waterfall we hiked to on the way back from the rock art...beautiful! I am taking the picture from the cave behind the waterfall.


Here is a picture of the chalets we stayed in overlooking the beautiful Drakensberg mountains.


Ahh yes, our fearless grillers, Chris and John, lookin' mighty masculine!

Tonight we're doing dinner in Jo'Burg (in a safe area, as this is a VERY dangerous city), and then tomorrow we're off to the Apartheid Museum and Soweto (one of the townships) Should be a heavy day. More later!
