I cannot remember the last time this has happened after a trip. I used to think if I ever got the chance to live abroad I'd choose Germany...I think it would be safe to say I'd choose South Africa (at least for now!). ... http://reisende.org/sablog/?p=21 are up! http://www.flickr.com/photos/marcymae enjoy! http://reisende.org/sablog/?p=20 I don't think I could have made trip here without writing about AIDS. You really have no idea how much HIV/AIDS has affected this country, in fact this entire continent, until you are here. YOu witness it - free condoms distributed everywhere, AIDS policy signs indicating you need to treat ... http://reisende.org/sablog/?p=19 oooo, I found fairly inexpensive internet access!!

I went to visit the Saphumelela Junior Primary School and its library as a half day tour.

It was the perfect ending to a wonderful day! After a fantastic dinner at a great italian place, lots of wine and beer, Jackie and I arrive back at the hotel. Walk into the room and there ... http://reisende.org/sablog/?p=15 Today is day two in Durban and this is going to be a fast post as I'm using the computers at the conference and they opened today so there is somewhat of a line...yesterday was full of meetings and other fun stuff. I caught up with Phyllis (my Dean from ... http://reisende.org/sablog/?p=14 This morning (and what a beautiful morning it is) is my last in Cape Town.

I struggled ... http://reisende.org/sablog/?p=13
