Made it!

Greetings from Jo'berg!

So it took a bit to get here. Six hour flight to London, ten hour layover in Heathrow, and a ten hour flight to Johannesburg. However, it just so happens that I'm reading a book about the Lewis and Clark expedition, and it took those famous bastards like 3 days just to get from Philly to DC. Am I comparing myself to Lewis and Clark? I'm just saying there's evidence to suggest that I'm a much more efficient traveler than they were.

But I digress. You want to hear about Africa. Well, it's only been a couple hours so not much to tell yet, besides the fact that we drove past the tallest building in all of Africa:

Carlton Centre, tallest building on the African Continent (50 Stories).

Don't believe me? Wikipedia it.


Anyway, Eli (a fellow Friends of Tshilidzini co-founder and my travel partner) and I are going to go check out the Apartheid Museum during our time in Joberg today and then tomorrow morning it's off to Thohoyandou! More pictures to come, but here's Eli, as well as proof that all roads lead to Cleveland:

Eli, hour 6 of layover. Calm as a monk.

Our taxi driver couldn't understand why I started weeping at this site.
