Home Base #1

So after spending a chilly night at the B and B we were served a lovely breakfast before departing to home base 1...this is the largest of the home bases and has room for 30 volunteers and 4 bathroom. this is not where art and i will stay..we are going to base 2 a newer place with fewer rooms and bathrooms. all is very organized, very clean and very spacious. everything is taken care of for us...cooking, washing dishes, laundry, cleaning of the rooms..we are to do nothing but the volunteer work and enjoy the culture. We met an african man named Frances who is the guide in the first home. he is very knowledgeable of the area and the base so just gave us orientation for one hour. my head is swimming and i am trying to retain everything. there are four types of people in SA...the blacks, the coloreds, the white and the indians. all have different languages. we will learn words in each language soon. so goodbye for now....
