we went to Durban

We spent all of last week in Durban with a fellow-PCV couple. It was great. we found a good deal on a little "Kondo" (yes, with a K because it's not really a condo but a motel room with a kitchen) right on the beach and spent quality time in the ocean, staring at the ocean from the balcony, jogging alongside the ocean, sitting in the sand beside the ocean... you get the idea. My friend Jay and I got to surf every day, and Jamie-girl got to jog every morning along the promenade.

We ate seafood in restaurants. We went to a movie (Burn After Reading). we drove a car. it was all quite luxurious and reminiscent of times past. And it also allowed us to step back from our daily lives in rural Swaziland and appreciate its simple beauty.

Anyway we're back and we're busy, especially in the schools. More on that later.

Also, we just got an email from a Port Townsend woman who's working/living here in Swaziland-- how cool is that? She found us through this blog. I love it when that kind of thing happens.
