I 've been terrible about that.
It's tough going back and forth between a physical journal and this thing.
So we left Stellenbosch two days ago. My house didn't get to finish our house on Monday. Well, we did everything but the roof tiles, which the South African builders that helped us were still working on whent the buses left. A few people in my group went back though, so I'm pretty sure it's finished. I gave my watch to a boy whom Mykaila and I dubbed Monito (= little mono = little monkey)...he was more attached to it than I was. He cried when we left, which made me cry, which was a messy ordeal all around. I'm so, so, so, so happy we did Habitat. WE GAVE THIS WOMAN A HOUSE. TO LIVE IN. WHEN SHE HAD BARELY BEEN LIVING IN A SHACK.
WOW.
Okay. So now we're in Plettenberg Bay, scheduled to leave tomorrow morning. Bungee jumped yesterday off the highest bridge jump in the world. Have a sweatshirt and photos!
Went to a monkey sanctuary today and was peed on by a gibbon.
Sang When You're Good To Mama with Kael.
Must leave.
THEATRE FESTIVAL NEXT.

Love you all.

Hi Olivia- I was google searching for some info and came across your blog- I did a Habitat build in February 2008 in Mfuleni, a township outside of Cape Town and I'm headed back to work with Outward Bound South Africa in January! Sounds like you had an awesome experience- as did I. Go Habitat!!! :)
