I Made It!!

But I am extremely tired. Our plane got into Port Elizabeth at 7:30 this morning but it felt like it should be late afternoon and considering I only got a few hours of sleep on the plane rides, it is safe to say I am a little out of it right now. The plane rides themselves were uneventful but they passed quickly enough thanks to a good book and movies. But I have one bad thing to say about planes, the food sucks. No matter how hard they try to make it good, it's a lost cause. I can honestly say I really don't know much about what happened in the airports except that there was a lot of waiting and the Amsterdam airport makes you feel stupid if you are late for a plane but they are nice about it, Johannasburg...not so much.

Once we got picked up from the airport we went directly to our flats and the view is better than I even anticipated (I'll try to get a picture(s) up soon once I get better internet). Even though Melissa (one of my roommates) and I are not in the flat with a direct ocean view, the balcony off of our room has a great view of the ocean (its the Indian Ocean for all of those wondering). I plan on spending as much time out there as possible. The weather is a welcome change. Port Elizabeth is a very windy city but it is still warm out. Wearing shorts outside and not freezing is a wonderful feeling that can only be fully appreciated after going through below zero temps for weeks. Anyway, I got off course, we were taken to the grocery store to get food after dumping our bags into our rooms. We had not time to prepare so you can only imagine the confusion of trying to figure out everything you need to eat in a short amount of time. We hit the town after this, which basically consited of walking up and down the walk by our flats, nothing too exciting.

Not a whole lot else going on that would be of any interest to read. I'll update again probably when orientation or school starts so don't expect anything in the next week. And I'll make sure the next post doesn't sound so scatter brained :)

Peace.
