I guess it's been almost a month since I went on vacation. I apologize for taking so long to post anything about it. From the small country of Lesotho, to the big city of Durban South Africa. The differences were apparent almost immediatly. As volunteers we went from being greeted and questioned by everyone we pass to going completely unnoticed. The anonymity was a nice change. The weather was wonderfully warm and allowed us to swim in the ocean and float the lazy river at Ushaka Marine World. Our first day was waisted in a large mall, as we ladies had to shop for "nice" shoes in order to get into the bars. our PCV flip-flops don't cut it in the city. I hate malls so this wasn't mch fun, but it was nice to see such a variety of shopping options. Unfortunately on a PCV budget we're restircted to mostly window shopping. I laso ate McDonald's for the 1st time (it tastes better in America) and some PCV's got Subway (this would've been the better choice). That evening we went out to Sushi on the beach and had a great time! I'm running out of computer battery, so I'll sum up the rest quickly.

My favorite day was Saturday where a few of us girls went to an amazing market where I could've spent ALL my money, but managed to only spend most of it :) I picked up some tny souveniers for family and friends, and was FINALLY able to buy a purse. I've been needing and wanting one since I got to Lesotho. After the market we met up with some other PCV's at Ushaka Marine World where we went down the largest water slide in the Southern Hemisphere (I hated it) and floated the lazy river with some beers before checking out the aquarium. From Ushaka we went straight to a Sharks Rugby game. This was my first Rugby experience, and I loved it!!! The whole vaca. was filled with amazing food, sandy beaches, and booze. I had a great time and now we're busy planning vaca. number two!
