20 hours later - we're here!

I've arrived in South Africa and it's surreal. I don't feel like I've traveled half way around the world, all I know is I'm sleepy.

We left Sea-Tac airport at 6am and headed to Atlanta. From there we left Atlanta and flew to Dakar, Senegal. They have maps on the plane that track the progress and it was such a weird feeling to see Africa pop up on the map and see our little plane draw closer and closer to it's shore. We stayed on the plane for a few hours in Dakar and then took off for another 9 hour trek down the coast to Cape Town.

That ride wasn't as agreeable with me as I spent most of the time after breakfast in the bathroom wishing I wasn't plane sick. But, I survived and we landed in Cape Town June 18th around 5pm. We caught a beautiful sunset that silhouetted Table Mountain and palm trees. I also received my first stamp on my passport. I think I'm too tired tonight to realize that I'm in South Africa, that I'm on another continent, but I'm just thankful to have arrived.

That's all for now, as my time is running out and my pillow looks awful comfy.
