OH. MY. WORD.
You know the insistent rain I keep mentioning? Today I had the most terrifying experience of my short little life.
Fi was driving to school to fetch the children and the rain was absolutely pouring down. The area she was driving through was in FLOOD! The road she drove on had become a raging river... and to make matters worse, paving bricks were tumbling down through the water too... the windscreen wipers could hardly keep up with the downpour.
At one stage she felt a rather large void under her tyre and knew the road was being washed away underneath her...
Indeed...this is what the patch of road looked like once the water drained away....
Some roads completely washed away and several cars did the same....
ENOUGH RAIN ALREADY!

Well, I came, I saw and I....met Madiba! If I was a foreigner I'd call him Nelson Mandela, but I've been here so long I'm pretty much a local and that is the name the locals call him by.
Talking of being here long, it is time for me to hit the road again - I'm off to Florida, USA where it is hopefully NOT raining....and maybe I'll get to see the ocean (a few more of these floods and there might be an ocean on Jo'burg's door step!)
So Totsiens julle almal which means 'till we meet again you lot '

Hi mom! My host, Trip, has been sick all week so we haven't gone out and done much. She's also been really busy with work and school, so I helped her with studying.
She has a class practical next week on the skeletal system.
Here's a real 12-lead EKG she did on patient. It showed the lady having an STEMI aka heart attack!
Hopefully, Trip will feel better this weekend so we can go have fun!
Love,
Shaggy

Hi mom!
The weather has been nasty here all week so we've been stuck indoors. I've been just hanging out with Herbie, watching Harry Potter movies.
Me and Herbie took a pic with Trip's new owl figurine she found at a Thrift store.
I'll be traveling soon to my next host. I'll let you know when I live here.
Love,
Shaggy
