Day 2

Today was marked with adventure, I went with Carl out to north eastern Pretoria to see the cradle of humankind. The exhibit featured a museum showing the amazing discoveries made in South Africa most notably the discovery of Mrs. Ples a 2.15 million distant relative of us humans. We also explored the limestone caves where miners excavated during the 20th century.

The day finished with a long drive to my hotel in Pretoria.This villa has about 5 bedrooms with 4 people in each room, a community kitchen, living area, and general public area with storage, washer and dryer, and balconies over seeing the beautiful city of Pretoria, only a 4 block walk to the stadium. We have a bus reserved 24 hours a day with a driver who stays in the villa with us, a personal security guard, and personal maids. I have a met everyone in the program and they seem very cool, this should be a fun trip!
