a lot has happened since the last time i posted on this. i spent best part of the month of december driving across this wonderful country in a Nissan Almera with Andrew... from Cape Town to the Transkei to the Drakensberg Mountains to Swaziland to Mozambique and back again. And then i spent New Years in hospital with Andrew after our December 30th car accident... crumpled bonnet, through the windshield, fractured ribs for me, broken face for poor Andrew. And then there was the surgery, and ICU and we found out Bas had been in hospital in Durban for the past few weeks with malaria and double pneumonia. And then there was Aaron's trip here, and the misery and confusion of relationships and knowing ourselves and love and friendship. And then Melissa stayed here at 8 Herschel for a few days and we had good times, Diva's food and lazy days. And now it is slowly getting back to life. I had dinner last night at Melody's house in Langa... Uzi and Mihlali just started school back up again (Uzi in grade 1, Mihlali grade 5). Melody's husband is still missing in action... and she's still unemployed, praying for a job so she can finally divorce him. I'm not with CSVR anymore, and so I've started the proces of looking for something new to do during my remaining time in CPT, not to mention looking for a job for once I get back home. I've submitted an application to serve in Haifa, and I really do pray that that happens for me. It would be such a blessing. Nava has sent one in as well, and truly I can think of nothing better than the idea of serving in Haifa with my dear, sweet Navajoon.
Anyhow, back to the road trip... Really only photographs and my more creative writing can express the beauty of the places we saw and times we had. It was wonderful... So, I'm going to post some of the stuff I journaled while we were traveling. Feel free to comment and critique...
