Now if that isn't a typical Kati pose?!?!



More photos for updating on quick internet. I assure you, Kati is still alive. I MSNed with her today....
She is busy with school and has lots of new chums to share time with. She's looking into a short trip to Namibia this next week.

Pictures: Kati's first play in the ocean

pictures......

These are pictures that Kati has posted. The time it takes to upload them is very long and uses up allocated time that each household has. So, I thought it might be wise for me to do it for her.
The pictures of of a vineyard they walk the dogs in. The dog is Scratcher....he is old, and he is adorable. The mountain range in the back of one of the photos apparently got snow for the first time in forever the other day. The flower is outside in the garden. The beach/coast is amazing, it is rumoured. A photo of the school with some mates in front. We are awaiting a picture of Kati in said uniform.

The beach!!

Saturday

The weather today is absolutely gorgeous. There is no wind and the sun is shining beautifully in the sky without any clouds. It is quite nice. I got a nice sleep in today, and then Susan took me shopping for a while, and yep you guessed it, I had to buy the cutest pair of shoes I've ever seen. Then we bought another sweater in case it gets colder. That and it was so nice that we decided I needed it. We went grocery shopping and bought some really yummy fruits. Then I had this amazing fruit salad with papaya and guava and bananas and awesome other fruits. Tonight I am going to the school's play Alladin, which Im pretty excited for, it should be really fun.

May 12th.

Today was my first day of school. I got my super stylish uniform. Its actually not that terrible. I went to classes today just to get used to the time table, but I dont have any personalized classes yet. Im so excited for it though, the music classes sound really exciting. I also had a nice afternoon nap which helped me feel alot less exhaughsted(sp?). I got to go to siyacula after my awesome nap and we worked on some really beautiful music. It was really nice to meet everyone. They are super nice people. Later the Binghams and I went on a sunset walk with the dogs throught the vineyards. It was really really gorgeous. Anyways its getting close to dinner now.

Arrived:

Just to update: Katelyn arrived in Cape Town at 9:07 and was most happy to see Robbi and his dear mother. Then the trip was gauged a success when Katelyn's luggage arrived with the plane.

She is going to rest most of the day tomorrow and perhaps Friday, and then has a Siyacula rehearsal Friday afternoon. I am sure she will be ready to begin writing in the next day or so. But, for now...she is safe and sound....with many thanks to the Binghams and all the prayers that have been offered.

This is the beginning of an adventure I'll never forget....or maybe I will if the damn malaria pills don't stop messing with my head.
