It's Friday! :)

Today has been wonderful so far :) The project was so much easier today and i don't know why but it was good. I forgot to mention in my other posts, I am staying with two other girls with my host family. We are all doing the same project. One is named Jess and the other is Jamie. They are really great. We are working at "Piere-Viere Childcare Centre". We went to the bookstore on our walk home from the project yesterday and were able to pick up some books for the centre. Today, my favorite moment was when Mrs. Olive (the principle) was reading the book to the kids and flipped to the first page and saw that i had written in it saying it was their book from "Ms. Kayla". She put down the book and told all the kids to go outside for their play time, we started cleaning up the room and she came to me and said thank you for the book and gave me a huge hug. as she pulled away i saw that she was crying so i pulled her back in and we hugged some more. all because i spent 20 Rand on a book for their classes. she was very touched and that touched me. it was really wonderful. Piere-Viere is at a "community building" meaning that other people use it when they aren't there so they need to pack and unpack their things every morning and every night! and it's a lot! it amazes me how much these women have been doing on their own. They are wonderful. they also encourage us to take time off and look around and travel, but to be safe ;) . From our host family's house we walk about 15 minutes to the train and then take that one station down and then walk about 7 minutes to Piere-Viere.

Today we left the project around 11:30 or so and took a train to two beaches. it was really windy today so it made it too cold to get in the water but we walked around and i got some sun. Then at the second beach we stopped and sat and got ice cream cones :) they were so so delicious! different than American ice cream but just a different flavor. it's way good though. Then we sat for a bit longer and took the train back home. not sure what we're going to do tonight but tomorrow morning we are going to head to Cape town and walk around there all day :) it will be fun! :)
