2-8-07 and 2-9-07

We left Dulles at 5:30 p.m. and flew for 15 hours to Johannsburg, South Africa. The plane was full and we were squeezed together in small seats. It was almost unbearable, but we made it! We arrived in Jo-burg on Friday about 3:00 p.m. We needed to meet the rental agent for the apartment had rented by 5:00 p.m. Doug will tell the story in another post on how we finally did meet the guy. We got our rental car, a Renault Clio and began driving on the left side of the road. We got lost, but finally got in the vicinity of the apartment and asked the guy across the street if he knew our address. He said he did not. But, our place was directly across the street from where he worked in a guard gate for the complex across the street. We crashed at the apartment and slept until 8:00 a.m. the next day.
