Day 3: 6/27/09

For a moment, I thought I woke up this morning in Ohio. As I sat in the general lounge listening to the radio, the announcer spoke about snow sightings in various area and then went on to plan Hannah Montana! A little surreal and not what I expected to hear about during my trip in S Africa. Today has been solid. We went for a four hour game drive and then watched the S Africa vs England rugby game—certainly a cultural experience! I fell asleep somewhere in the middle of both for a few minutes but that is to be expected. I got some great pictures of a variety of animals—alive and dead. I even got a picture of the endangered black rhino. One of only 2,000 left in the world. My camera was definitely worth the purchase. I am very happy with it. The pictures came out great. Our core module on contemporary political S African thought starts tomorrow, and I am looking forward to it. This trip has been pretty awesome thus far, and long may it continue.
