A few interesting notes:
- How interesting to see a Texas/cowboy/Indian themed restaurant in Africa… with an all black/African staff (including the kitchen staff) breaking from their duties on cue to line dance to "Hillbilly Rock, Hillbilly Roll." It's a small world after all.
- Anna said, spontaneously, that she's coming to America to work for me :) Wendy hit zero on the Amused Scale.
Anna's grandson is staying the week, since it's school holidays. I've mentioned to some how dry South Africa is in winter, and that it takes on an especially dusty appearance. Last night, after the two boys and a neighbor played outside ALL day, the boys took a bath together. I've never seen such brown bath water! Wendy and I got a good laugh out of it. Clearly, a sign of a good day of outside play.
An Amazing Race-level misadventure:
Yesterday, my cell phone battery died. Plugged it in, but every time I checked this morning, it looked like it was taking no charge. So, off I went to the Vodacom store in the mall. After waiting 3 days in 2 lines, handed over the phone and explained the situation. Is it the phone? the cord? What??
She hit the power button and gave it back to me, saying, "It works."
So it seems.
