Welcome to Capetown, South Africa Summer 2007


Hey, You've got K-Mail! *K-Mail Archive!*
I wanted to design something special for my K-Mail while I was in South Africa, and with the help of my sister Karla, I found a nice animal print of a South African leopard for the background! The header contains a picture of me, Cape Town from the sea, and the flag of South Africa as tribute to my old and new friends who call South Africa "home." I hope you like it :)


It was a very long trip from Los Angeles to London to Cape Town, and I think you can see by the expressions of my fellow travelers from Southern California that we are all way past exhaustion! But we are here now!	I think my sister Kristin would love this car!

Day 2 in South Africa J I am actually right now in an Internet Cafe at the Waterfront. I am going to do the wireless thing for my apartment (I think that it is worth it, and I have MANY pictures to send ). :) I also want to have access and to be able to post-- so much seems to be happening that time seems to flying by!!! I went to the ATM today and got some rand out-- it worked! :) (I was worried since I had a 'new' card). I have to go and check to see if my package has arrived too! ( a Jenny Craig survival kit) :) One of the things that Stephaney (my roommate) and I did today was check out the post office. There is one in the main mall, and I got some information on the shipping costs and it seems pretty easy to follow. :) We also went out to lunch today-- well, it was like three in the afternoon, and I was totally feeling the jetlag today! I was up for about three hours last night and full of energy, and then I went back to bed and woke up around noon!!! J

A view of the Water Front!	Here's a quick look at our kitchen. It looks a lot like my one in Los Angeles!

Woo hoo—got my grades! I found out what I got this past semester in terms of grades—all A’s! That is really neat, and I am very happy that I got my thesis approved as well. All I have to do is complete my internship this summer and I am done with my Master’s degree. It seems like yesterday that I just started! I was really excited about my grades since it raises my overall GPA in Grad School to a 3.7 J


We took a short tour of Cape Town. The weather changes really quickly here, and I was freezing in my t-shirt!	Lion's Head!
