Johannesburg

Well, you know it's a long day of travel when you leave home at 10:30 AM and get to your destination at 7:00 pm... the NEXT DAY. But we've made it safely to Johannesburg, and after an hour and a half or so all we could tell you was that it is hot and traffic is hell. Think Chicago in late July.

However, we arrived at our guesthouse, which turned out to be lovely, and we then unwinded with the true African experience of pizza in bed while watching "A League of Their Own". Come on, it's our first night, give us a break OK?

It is now 11:30 AM Friday, and we are well rested and the weather is absolutely perfect, so we're ready to roll! Unfortunately all there really is to do in this neighborhood is go to the mall, so that's where we are. But we fly to Nairobi in the morning, for which we have a 5:00 AM wake-up call, so we're giving ourselves a break. So if "A League of Their Own" happens to be on again tonight, your damn right we're watching it again!
