Oh, life.

I am taking today to catch up on some much needed shopping. It has been over a month now since I had been to a mall and bought something nice, so I am having tons of fun doing that. I stopped at the MAC makeup store and treated myself to some nice non-smudge eyeliner and some shadow to do the smokey eye. I didn't bring all of my eyeshadows and stuff, and I have been finding that I want to do different things with my makeup when I go out at night, so I wanted to stuff. They also did my makeup while I was there, which is nice. I also found Cadbury Hot chocolate! I bought some and am saving it for back in the states. I am also by myself for the first time in a month. It is refreshing. (Don't worry mom, the US Embassy people said that its perfectly safe to walk around the harbor area by yourself during the day). Its also nice to blend in for once. There is a high white population in South Africa, so no one can tell me from them. We get free WIFI outside of the mall area so I am sitting here listening to some African music, working on a paper, just relaxing. I love it here, I can't say that enough.

I just love reading your blogs, sometimes with tears running down my face as I ponder the life changing experiences you're having. I'm not sure who is luckier - you for getting to experience this or the people from around the world that are getting to experience meeting you!!

Continue to have fun soaking in these experiences and keep up the excellent job of describing what you are seeing!
