Today was the team's free day. We woke up bright and early, and were out of the house by 6 a.m. to avoid traffic. We got to take a boat out to Robben Island, where we got a bus tour and a tour of the maximum security prison where Nelson Mandella was held. Sadly, it was pouring rain and we all got soaked. (I guess we should all pray that none of us catch a cold.) Then we had lunch with some of the CHE's from Sweet Home. Afterward, we had a little bit of time left to walk around Cape Town and look around some of the shops. This country is really so lovely.
This evening when we got home we had dinner with the students from the Academy again, and watched the modern version of Romeo & Juliet (the one with DiCaprio in it.) Because, apparently, they are studying Shakespeare. They seemed to really enjoy it.
Looking forward to tomorrow!
I hope on your end, the comments are coming thru. I suspect many are being sent and received. Somehow they never show on my end that there are any, in fact they always say "O" comments. I have sent several and attempted many more but they dont always take. Clearly God doesnt want ALL my comments sent, thats ok, I will talk with HIM about that later. The water works are doing great on this end. Perhaps you can get Kleenex to sponser some of the trip cause they have to be racking up more then ever before. I hope each and everyone of you can look in the mirror, and see THE MIRACLE that South Africa has! Remember what lyes before and after us is just a small part of what lyes within us...and the trivia for today is: Who wrote that and how is it correctly written? First one to get it right wins a chicken foot dinner at my house! Brownies included! Sleep well! NITE NITE!

I hope this works..
I've been watching the weather in Cape Town, it seems cold. Not really like the heat we are having. Its August YAY! You will all be coming home soon and thats good. I sent an invitation to my friend to follow your blog (she helped with finances for the trip), I got an email from her suggesting I should have warned her, she was sitting at her desk crying. We all need to be aware of our blessing. How else do we inspire others? Hopefully your hearts are full and you backs are warm. You all are Loved and Missed even if you dont get messages from home, your absence here shows, so keep up the good work and carry on! Toot toot its Saturday! I have noticed that your follower list is continuing to grow, not sure if you know that. Maybe its stockers? This is the internet and you just never know. Be good, have fun, and know we wait for your return! It cant come soon enough. xoxo
