Sanibonani my friends,

I realized I have unfortunately relapsed into my poor habit of forgetting to update y'all, when I had a conversation with one of my friends and she said "What have you been up to, other than lagging at blogging again?"

I've been really busy! And I didn't have electricity for three days! And I was out of town! And my dog ate my computer. And I promise to write a longer and more detailed post very soon, but I just wanted to leave you with a couple of things.

The first was is a New York Times article that my friend Nahal sent to me, depicting the art of a South African male who aims to capture the beauty of daily life here in SA. The pictures are really beautiful, and encapsulate many of the experiences that I have daily.

The second is a funny video about being a PCV in Africa. The verbiage portrays life here as more depressing than it truly is; what I mean is that these quirks (i.e., watching goats eat grass for an entire day) are the things that I have come to appreciate and love about living here. There is a high chance I will never do any of these things again, so all we can do is laugh.

Missing and loving you all
