Short Entry

Short entry for today because it's late and i'm absolutely exhausted. We saw two classes today and finished up the main part of the You Are Special Caterpillar. We stapled it together and it looks great (albiet long). Some kids still have to finish their parts. Next week Paul and I will be continuing with butterflies for each class.

We celebrated SA's Women's Day today at the school and received a special reception, filled with pastry treats, piano music, speeches, and free slippers/roses. It was great! They truly seem to celebrate women in this country (at least, on women's day they do).

After we got back we took a cab to the SA National Gallery, which was filled with native SA and African art. It was pretty nice, and the park area that it was in was beautiful. We spent copious amounts of time in the gardens after that, entertaining the extremely tame squirrels that would just walk up to you and ask for food. I literally beckoned one from 15 feet away by pretending to have food. I have a photo later to show of a woman we deemed "Snow White" because she was literally feeding all of the creatures out of her hand.

After that, we went to a great South African restaurant on Long Street and I had ostrich for the first time (let's see how that sets on me). Then we went to a pool hall down the street.

Safari tomorrow!
