We set out at 8PM for Washington DC from New York. Once again it was inevitable that we were going to get lost on the way. After eventually arriving after midnight, the lit up Washington Monument stood as a landmark, a reminder that we were in the Ca...

Just a few weeks after Clarens, we are in George visiting Vaughn’s mom on the way to the Grahamstown festival. George turns out to be much nicer than we thought, and Desiree and Rose entertain us 24 hours a day with drives in the mountains and wale-wat...

As part of our mini South African road trip, Calan and I headed down to George, part of the infamous Garden Route. More importantly than being home to pretty mountains, nice beaches and a variety of adventure sports, the area is home to Calan's mum ...

A wonderful holiday road trip. We stop by the Karoo National Park on our way to Cape Town and have a memorable, if expensive, meal of Karoo lamb and Cape wine. The next morning we’re up early to finish the trip to CT, but before we leave we watch the r...

Um...does anyone speak Xhosa? We could not get the students to speak to us. Either they were shy about their English or they didn't know it. So maybe we need to focus on higher grade levels, where older students may have had more experience speaking in...
