Posterous theme by Cory Watilo

We've arrived in South Africa!

It seems that everywhere I go so far there's a hotspot somewhere near enough to get a little update off. This morning is no exception. Our flight from Farnkfurt to South Africa was wonderful and we both got some much needed rest. More for Erin than for me as I woke up about 2:50am and couldn't sleep for the duration of the flight. Nevertheless, the four hours I did get did me so much good. We're now waiting to catch our first of many buses and are excited to see some of the countryside on our 4- or 5-hour bus ride to Kruger National Park. It's interesting how close to Swaziland we'll be when we're there. Not only that, but I anticipate it being sad, too, as this "tourist" spot will likely insulate us from the real struggles of so many here. I imagine that the stark contrasts of Africa will hit us pretty hard, as they should. Anyway, we'll be in Kruger tonight and tomorrow night before heading back to Johannesburg to meet up with our World Vision contacts. This liason with World Vision is the part of the trip that I'm most anticipating and most anxious to share with you all. Of course, however, while in Kruger I'll do my best to capture some good shots and pass them along in a couple of days. We love you all (and espeically Jackson and Abbie!), Reed and Erin
