We arrived

After 24 hours of flying and airports we have made it  to Johannesburg. Here is a picture of our home at the Outlook Lodge for the next 3 days.

We are laying low today. The night flight to Jo-burg was bumpy and uncomfortable, and I didn't get much sleep. So Micah has noticed they drive on the other side of the road, the soil is very red, and Micah has already learned the special Southern African handshake. I had forgotten about the African handshake (they also use it in Zimbabwe), but our driver shook my hand this way when he greeted us at the airport. Our tour guide, Simphiwe, was surprised when he arrived to take us on our first day of sightseeing when I shook his hand in this fashion.

The weather is lovely; sunny. dry, and about 65 degrees today.
