howzit from jo

well hellooo again everybody. luke... again. sam'll write soon she's just a little busy with her hair at the moment, like anything else is new.

we are in jo burg, south africa, obviously. all's well so far. had a nice couple days here in the burg. were staying at a hostel called brown sugar. its situated in jo burgs equilivant to tuscany. in the safest community around, on a hill, only here they have a 20 foot wall and barbed wire all around it, whereas sams parents house does not. but its good, as apparently there have a been a few muggings lately. so were nice and safely tucked away waiting for monday so we can visit the indian embassy for a visa. there isnt really alot to do here, as tourists usually get the hell out of dodge ASAP. so were walking during the day and avoiding being out at night. getting excited to get away to the coast and away from the city. were thiking that tuesday we'll leave (hopefully) and boogey east. then we want to beach hop till we get to cape town and we can find a crash pad to head to the rocklands. were both getting pretty ansy in the pancey to start climbing.

GOOD NEWS! the coffee situation has improved!! they make great coffee here. only to our great suprise when you say drip coffee with cream, they take that as whipping cream on top of your coffee. image our suprise! wasnt sweetened cream though so it was actually really really good! solid.

heres sam ... oh my goodness I almost stepped on a dead cat in my flipflops!!! I thought it was fox (but I didn't want to tell Luke ... such a city girl) - - my hair is too frizzy for my travel straightener and I can't find the right plug in for my hair dryer - - show me the way to the Marriott ... much love ... Sam

Well since I heard about your day, let me tell you about mine. I took a 40 minute shower (it really my "me" time) and then I dried my hair, realized I didn't really like the way it looked, so I showered again, and redid it. Then I primped and ironed my Sunday best and am going to Thanksgiving dinner. Epic...
You have to know I'm joking...pj's coffee and Finding Nemo until we leave for dinner....the shower part might be acurate...
Hope you guys can find a Turkey, ring its neck and cook it over and open fire...Happy Thanksgiving!!
