leavnig the hostel

Today, we finally are leaving our hostel in Stellenbosh, South Africa! We have been here for two weeks, but it feels like a lot longer. I am excited to get moving and see more remote  parts of Africa, I feel a little sheltered here in Stellenbosh. We've already experienced so much i can't even imagine how much more we're going to learn and experience once we leave! This afternoon, after a full day of classes we are off to stay with a host family in Cape Town. We live with this family for a week, with another classmate from the Traveling School. We're going to go to class thursday and Friady, but Saturday and Sunday we just spend time with our famlies which will be so cool! Friday we get to go to our first market! I am so excited to see all of the diferent items that will be there (and buy some :) ) After our homestay, we get onto our truck! We pretty much live out of this truck for the rest of the trip! We have plans to go backpacking, for around ficve days which i am really pumped up for. Im most excited for mid october when we get to raft down the Zambize (spelling?) And learn to scuba dive and surf later on. This trip has so much more to offer, and its already flying by. So much to do, so little time. I love the other girls on this trip and get closer to them every day, they are people ill never forget!
