Terri wanting to stop time

I cannot believe that our spring break trip is finally here. I remember when I first got accepted into the program I was so excited to not only come to Cape Town and start my internship but also for our spring break trip to Johannesburg and Kruger.  The time is finally here and we leave tomorrow, I cannot believe it! Our time in Cape Town if flying by and I don’t think anyone expected it to go so fast.  I wish I could stop time right now and just live in the moment in this beautiful place.  I cannot wait to get to Johannesburg and go to all the museums and other activities we have planned while on our trip.  From what I can see it will be an amazing trip and awesome learning experience.

Not only am I excited to get to Johannesburg and go to Kruger but I am also excited about the last half of the time that we have here.  I think I am now completely comfortable with Cape Town and think the experience here can only get better.  I have notice that the people here seem to be getting a lot more comfortable with us also.  This may be because we are more calm while out and not traveling in such large groups but I have been talking to a lot more native people the past couple weeks.  Meeting South Africans was one of my goals so I am very happy that this goal is finally being fulfilled.  The people of South Africa have so much to teach us and I am so happy that I am given the chance to learn from them.
