His is the little house on the left, behind the bush LOL. If you go to either google maps or google earth and punch in 154 Station Road, Capetown, South Africa, you'll get a much better photo! His room is about 18x18 and looks out on the garden. I'm anxiously awaiting pictures! The three of them share a backyard with three others, another American from Wisconsin, another Dutch student, and a German student. Sounds like they all get along pretty well, hopefully that remains the same!
Jake says that the scenery is beautiful, and he was unprepared for how wonderful it is. He's been on a bus tour around Cape Town, seeing Cape Point, the Cape of Good Hope, some beaches, a community center, and a Penguin Colony. He and his roommates have plans to go camping on the Garden Route next week, a trail that goes through the National Parks. They're also planning to go back to Cape Point and visit the beaches at the end of the week. Jake says that Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope are "something straight out of a dream."
Everything in South Africa runs on "South African time" ... which apparently means that everything is literally 15 minutes late, LOL. One of the popular sayings is "I'll be with you now" which means that they'll be with you shortly.
My Momma's heart is peaceful now, knowing that he's safe and having the experience of a lifetime! The girls can't wait to write him a letter, and I know that they're anxious to skype with him as well. Not sure how often I'll have more information, but I'll update again when I do :)
