O Canada!
Hi there, friends... It has been a pretty low-key week in Ekwendeni this week. Hence no blog updates in a bit. Sorry about that. Work continues on... I spent most of my time with the AIDS Programme this week, which was really interesting.
Anyway, the exciting news today (about which I just had to write home) was that I saw 3 - not 1, but 3 - signs of Canada today. First of all, I saw someone wearing a Hockey Hall of Fame t-shirt. Then (this one is the best one), I saw someone wearing a Tim Horton's visor. It took a bit to explain why I was so excited about this, but whatevs. Still so cool. And then I saw a kid wearing a Maple Leafs jersey. At least he was cheering for the right team - not Ottawa :). Even so far away from Canada, I am constantly reminded of wonderful things at home... like Timmy's iced cappuccinos and Boston cream doughnuts.
