Hello there,

I'm sorry it's been a while since I've wrote here.

But since I still don't have Internet at home, whilst having the possibility to check my mails at work, I often don't feel like going to the Internet cafe.

I'm fine though. I'm in South Africa for nearly six weeks now, working at St. George's for 4. Even though I still don't know all the names (shame on me, it is getting better though), I feel I did start to bond with the girls; with some more, with some less.

The Computers I wrote about last time do get along quite nicely. A few drivers are still missing, something I will tackle today or during the next few days, depending on the other work that needs to be done at the Home.

What I've done since I last made an entry here:

I've been at a Church Function with my host parents. Twice actually. The first one was on a Friday night and was quite good. After having had some food and having played some of the games ( I won the “golf” competition), I played Domino with my host father and two other older Gents. I had fun, but I think I wasn't the best player. The next day was another Function, or part two, whatever. But it wasn't as good as part one.

One day I nearly did not get out of the house, because there were only four sets of keys for 5 people, so when my host mother went shopping in the early morning and my “Brother” taking a key as well, suddenly there was now key for me left, with all doors locked. But with a spare back door key and a bit of luck (on one of the gates was a look missing) I managed to get out. I've got my own set of keys now.

I've been to a 50^th Birthday, with apparently only half the Family there, the house where it was hold was absolutely packed. All of my Family doesn't add up to so many people. It was a nice evening though.

I was at the Clifton Beach, twice actually. Once during the day, and once just after sunset. Both time with my “Sister” and some of her friends. It is a really nice beach, quite protected, with ice white sand. The one time we went to the Waterfront afterwards. Also with my Sister and her friends I've been bowling. Only difference to bowling in Germany is, here you bowl in your own shoes.

With the Social Worker and Girls I've been to Kirstenbosch, the National Botanic Garden. Nice there. The Girls behaved as well. I made some pictures (as you can see) and went for a little walk alone. The next day we've been to Fish Hoek, a nice beach that is really windy though. The Spur there gave a free meal to the Girls. It was a nice day as well. The journey with the metro was nice as well. It takes you write along the coastline.

Just in case you wondered why I did not upload any pictures of the Girls here, I; not allowed to.

So long.
