Things are a little harder than expected

I only drove on the wrong side of the road once.

Internet is more difficult to find, but I am learning to be very patient with everything. I have learned that Cape Town has the most diverse situation in almost every aspect of life and living. There are beautiful mansions and extreme poverty. One thing is for certain, the local directors that I am with are some of the most amazing people I have ever met, and our group of students is equally as wonderful. Words can't describe the scenery, the mountains, the city, the people, so I will do my best to get the videos and photos up soon. Everything I have is running out of power so I need to find adapters and current voltage converters to charge my things so I do not fry them when they charge. Thats all for now.

God bless.

First day in Cape Town

Just getting settled in CT and trying to adjust to the time difference. I spent almost an entire day on a plane, stopping in Dakar, Senegal for a brief layover. Its been rainy and cloudy, much like back in good old Rochester, NY. My home-stay family is very nice and I am eating some new and very good Muslim food. This morning I had pumpkin pancakes, Stevie they one-upped you there. I have pictures and videos coming soon. Bye for now!

Starting a new chapter

After a tough Final Four loss I see one chapter coming to a close and a new one beginning. It is hard looking back at all that was put into an unforgettable season at Duke, and spending my time with some incredible guys. I just graduated and yet there seems to be no time to sit back and reflect, but that is how things go I guess. In less than ten days I leave for South Africa, and begins a summer that will test my ability to adapt and overcome the imminent adversity that is to come. There are many things that I need to wrap up in the US before I leave, but regardless of my circumstances, a fresh new chapter of my life begins, and I am very excited to get it started.
