i’m getting worse! i keep losing track of writing in my journal. at some point, i’m going to try and recap the last week or two that have totally slipped by.
as of right now, the things on my mind are:
1. buy hand lotion from clicks (the equivalent of cvs/a pharmacy): my hands are so rough and blistered..i should’ve taken a time lapse series of my hands to go along with the time lapse photos of the construction progress on site. anyways, yeah. loving my sandpaper hands.
2. saw rhinos the other day and played with a tiger cub. so fun! but i think hugging giraffes and chasing zebras still win in my book.
3. going to my first rugby game this weekend! who should i root for?!
4. when i bought colgate wisp toothbrushes for the trip, i was expecting to use them on the plane to/from joburg…not when we ran out of water at the house to shower and drink :( hopefully it comes back before i run out of brushes and my stash of orbit sweet mint gum!!
5. also, most current weather forecast: snow tomorrow. hopefully that’s a joke..but the idea of experiencing winter-ish weather all year round is starting to become more and more daunting!
okay. time to go back to site! the roof is going up this weekend and we’ll have more time to explore SA when that happens. my goal for the rest of the trip is to at least be somewhat more diligent about posts, yeah? do-able? hopefully!
