Random update

So I've been trying not to be quite as anal retentive, so trying new things. I have been walking around barefoot - trying to toughen up my skin. I wore flip flops (aka - slops) the first few days in the shower - talk about anal retentive. Now I have been wandering around the hostel and outside with no shoes! this is kind of big deal for me ;) Dillon encouraged me to walk around barefoot - to fit in with some other South Africans and be less like a tourist. We were walking outside on the side walk the other day, I was wearing my flip flops, him no shoes. I look on the ground, I'm like, "dude you are walking on glass." He looks down, "oh I am." Didn't even notice. So maybe I can walk on glass by the end of the trip?? without cutting up my feet....

Maggi left last night to go on the Garden Route - along the east coast. She is done working here. Sad day. I'm all by my lonesome now. I miss her already. So next year I'll probably make a visit to Germany. Missing my fam and friends back home today as well. On a lighter note, I got my first "paycheck" little more than a 1000 Rand. I spent more than that in one day last week. Hopefully I can make this last a little more than a day...

Nothing else going on. Mellow day. Working now.

 my face was really red there must have been after the hike or too much wine - one of the two
