Durban

We arrived in Durban on the opening day of the King Shaka International Airport. It is a beautiful, new airport built for the upcoming FIFA World Cup. Durban is much warmer, greener, and more tropical than Cape Town. I'm loving it! Molly and I are staying with Zodwa and her two sons, 17 year old Qniso and 13 year old Makabe. They are both very nice young boys. Also joining our host family is Toffi, a lively Doxen-Bush mix dog. She is a sweet dog to have around. Molly and I relaxed yesterday and went shopping for groceries with Zodwa. Maureen, the program coordinator, stopped by to give us our phones. Today, we slept in, went for a run, and read for a while. When Zodwa came home from church she took us to "The Pavilion." We are at this HUGE four story mall at an internet cafe. The place is amazing and far nicer than the malls at home. I was shocked! Later today we have orientation with the two students that arrived. They both live at host families a couple blocks away. I am not sure how often I will have internet access so bare with me on the timing of my posts!
