dear all,
today marks the 12th day on toni and my's journey through southern africa, and let me say that HEAVENS it has been wondrous. we have been met by so many friends and glorious hospitality the whole way through, from the jesuits in lusaka who toni used to work with, to now friends in cape town with stunning white homes with views of the sea... sigh... it's hard to know where to begin, there have been so many impressions and experiences, but here's just to say that i love being in africa once more, so much is familiar - the same biscuits and mosquito netting and minibuses, and then so much is new and unique since it's my first time in so many of these countries. the point of it all is that the world is so huge with such varied experiences and lives and personalities et al, and it's so wonderful to simply fling yourself into it! let's all get out of our bubbles! :)
and in other news, we're off to the stadium tonight in cape town to see spain v. portugal - watch if you can! huzzzzzzzzaaaah!!!!!!
much love to you all, will post pictures and the like when i'm back home :)
jooj.

why lay yourself on the torturer's rack of the past and future? the mind that tries to shape tomorrow beyond its capacities will find no rest. be kind to yourself, dear --

What a great match to see live! So fun! Who will you both be cheering for? We'll be watching in Spain but rooting for Portugal. Hopefully we won't get beat up ;)
i love your life!
