Tomorrow we move out of our posh, cozy guest house at Hillcrest Manor and prepare to move into Khayelitsha. Nervousness and excitement are blending together for me today. Change can be so scary when you’re uncertain of what comes on the other side.

I LEAVE TODAY!
Finally! I have to be at the airport at 5am … it’s currently 12:23 am. I’m thinking there is not much sleep to be had in the near future. My poor house. My poor sister roommate.

I’ve been looking in books and on the web – I can’t get enough of how gorgeous this place is. Check it out.
This is near where I will be staying. Incredible.
