Hey friends! Want to hear a funny joke?

This is what I thought Sun City looked like:

You know, like a City. Like a city with streets that you walk around in and go into shops and stuff. 

Sun City is actually a gambling resort with fake rocks and stuff. 

So we paid an entrance fee and then had to pay for everything else we did. It was kind of weird. We traveled 5 hours to not even stay at the resort- just to go in it for  day. We were very confused. We probably should have looked it up before we went... oh well. 

It was still a blast! We managed to have a fantastic time. 

We went on another safari!! It was at 6:30 am. Some of us looked like this: 

But, those of us who were awake saw some pretty amazing things!! 

One of the main attractions was this elephants penis, which is not pictured here. It literally dragged on the ground. One of the more impressive things I have seen in South Africa. I'll be sure to share it on facebook when I get a chance. 

Here are some things I miss about the Sates: 

1. Ketchup: it tastes weird here. Like sweet. 
2. The Waffle Shop: residents of state college, you have no idea how good we have it. 
3. Not being groped by men: I miss my freedoms as a woman in the United States and being able to make my own choices and travel by myself. 
4. Driving: I'm not allowed to drive here and I really miss driving the manual Honda Accord around  town with my own music at a bearable volume level. Watching these people drive stick all the time is making me jealous. Also, just being able to rely on myself for transportation would be nice. It gets annoying that I can't just get up and go anywhere- a lot of organization is needed to get transport. 
5. Predictable food times: I usually have no idea when I'm going to eat next. The rotation is to be starving and then so full you can't button up your pants. Its a vicious cycle. 
6. I miss State. I really do love my school and wish I could just bring it to South Africa. PS. Mom, on that note, can you get my student section football tickets for me? I don't think I will have internet access at the right time :(

I can't believe I only have 2 weeks left of fieldwork and only one weekend left in Limpopo. I get all sad and stuff when i think about it. Like I can't listen to some songs for fear of getting too sentimental. I really do love it here and I've had one of the best summers of my life. I will miss Lebo and Mmaphefo and Amma and Auntie Martha so much.
