Arrival/Tours

So, we made it all the way to Johannesburg in a total of 20 hours of flying and loads of driving, too. Unfortunately, Ed and Darelyn missed our flight from ATL to Jo-Burg because their previous one was delayed, and they had trouble getting on the next one, but they ended up getting it sorted out and flighing from ATL to Amsterdam where they had quite a long layover, and then continued on to Jo-Burg. We will be picking them up at the airport tonight at 9:45 p.m. Today, the 13 of us that were here had an amazing, thorough tour through Jo-Burg, Soweto, and The Apartheid Museum. We visited a small village in the slum where we talked with some of the kids living there, as well as their mothers--those who had them. I got some great footage of this village for the documentary, which i'm very excited about. We all were snapping pictures like crazy, which leads me to worry i'm going to have no more memory space by the end of the day tomorrow. But, we'll figure something out. To say the least, the day was amazing and incredible. Many of us are still jet-lagged, so I expect we will all be going to bed really early tonight. (I say that even as some are napping right now). Last night after getting lost about 8 times, when we finally showed up at our Bed and Breakfast, The Woodpecker Inn, we were greeted with a large and delicious barbeque which was quickly demolished by all of us who hadn't eaten anything decent in two days. The time difference felt so strange. On the plane it went from sun down to afternoon within an hour, it felt. I, along with many others didn't sleep for a single hour during the flight (i got just under 45 minutes of sleep), which benefitted us when we showed up to the Inn at 8:30, and went straight to bed after dinner.
We are all laying low at the moment, waiting for dinner time to arrive. It's nearly 5:00 p.m. and we haven't eaten since 7:30, because the tour was so busy. Anyways, after dinner I'm going straight to bed, 'cause we've got an early rise tomorrow morning as we begin our journey to Swaziland. I'll update this again when we have internet access. Thanks you guys!
