oh, the rains down in Affricaaaa.

So it’s not supposed to rain here in June. Like ever. But for the past week, it has been raining and freezing and I miss summer. haha. This week has been pretty uneventful. All of the volunteers have gotten this cold thing, so we have all just been sleeping a lot. I really hope that the weather clears up for this weekend so that we can do fun touristy stuff without being super miserable. I dunno if I have already written this in an earlier post but I am going to be coming home on July 1st instead of July 28th. I think that having a month here is going to be good enough. So yay, only 2 1/2 more weeks until summer! Haha. This weekend we are going to be going to Siweto which is, I think, where Nelson Mendela is from and it should be pretty cool on a Sunday with all of the gospel churches getting out and such. One of the volunteers, Kate, and I are going to try to go to the Elephant Sanctuary tomorrow and ride some Elephants (which was my number one goal for this trip!). So hopefully that will all work out, we need to book those reservations today actually. Things have been pretty slow for the past few days so the lovely homesickness is rearing its head, but hopefully it will pick up again once the weather starts being nice. OH! and we saw two brand new baby Giraffes, although I didnt get to take a picture because the Mom and Dad made them run the other direction. But it was still super cool and they were really adorable. (I want one). Anyway, I will update again after the weekend. I hope that everyone is having a good time doing what there doing and I can’t wait to come home and see some of your lovely faces!
