Busy, busy, busy here in Cape Town. The semester is coming to an end (there are only three weeks left in the semester!!) and due dates are quickly approaching. I am currently writing a paper on land restitution in Mpumalanga, such an interesting case study!!! If you are interested I would love to tell you all about it. Plans for the road trip are well underway and our tentative itinerary is as follows (I put some of the web page links if you want to check out some of the destinations):

I will be traveling in a small convoy of three 4X4 vehicles and twelve students, circumnavigating the whole of the country. We will be traveling for almost a month, returning to Cape Town on the 17th of July. I am getting really excited to see what the rest of this country is made of. It is going to be an epic journey!!!
