Our host parents were so warm and welcoming and totally open to discussing their lives and experiences with us. I learned more in that one afternoon than in all my years following the big events. Occurring in this land from far-off America. It has finally hit are that I am in Africa, I am in Cape Town, and over these three weeks, I will learn more about this country and the issues affecting its peoples than any other subject I have ever learned in school. Living in a host family has turned out to be a better experience than I could have imagined.
Every conversation is a history book, every day, a new lesson.
