In Johannesburg!

After a 21+ hour flight, Jim and I made it safely to Johannesburg, South Africa! We are so excited to be here, and it truly is an adventure. We are staying with two friends, Cara and Justin, in their beautiful home outside the city. We are trying to buy a car in the next few days, and then move out to the bush this weekend to start our work. I am a little anxious about moving out to Manguzi (having to boil water before drinking it or cooking with it and having to be very careful to stay with Jim at all times). Life will be different, but I am excited for the change. Stay tuned for an update on our new car - as long as we find one!

I was eating lunch at school and was reading your entry to NCSU Alumni Mag. I went to your blog to check on your adventure in life. Loved the wedding pic of you and mom - you and husband look like wonderful couple in life. Being an adventurer - military guy & backpacker - have you explored the use of UV pen to sterlize water. It works great and in minutes - very effective! I will check on you progress in South Africa. "Go WolfPack" alumini making a difference in the world---
