After a very long flight (18 hours from New York to Cape Town!) I have arrived in South Africa. The Rev. Cliff Felix and his wife, Whillemina, picked me up and drove me to their house where I will spend the night. They are cooking lentil curry and it smells so good! I will spend the night here then travel to Port Elizabeth, be met by a friend of Nick and Diana White's who will take me to the Order of the Holy Cross Monastery to observe Reading Camp. I feel fortunate to be here, to be warmly welcomed by so many, and to have the opportunity to make new friendships, and learn about the country. Tonight I get to hear stories from the Felixes about growing up in South Africa and the changes they have witnessed during their lives and ministries here.

Congratulations on your safe arrival! Everybody I talk to here thinks it's great you could do this.
Glad you made it! Tell Cliff I said, "howdy." Safe travels to Port Elizabeth and Grahamstown. Can't wait to join you on this pilgrimage with the rest of our group.
