Cait Has Arrived

Hi everyone, this is Nolan, Cait's older brother. She hasn't been able to gain access to the internet yet, and she wanted me to put something up so everyone knew she had arrived safely. She arrived in Johannesburg, South Africa on Thursday, Nov. 10th, where the PCT's (Peace Corps Trainee's) stayed in a hotel. They left the next day on a plane to Windhoek, Namibia. The next day it was a bus headed for Omaruru, Namibia. Cait was able to call us from some sort of market pay phone, and Mom, Sean, and I were able to talk to her for about 20 minutes. She sounds GREAT :) She said she felt safe, and that everything was working out pretty well. It sounds like she might be getting one of the better jobs, working in a city with teachers as opposed to moving around in the countryside to train teachers. It was sort of wild to be sitting in a car in the middle of Minnesota (we were at a wedding over the weekend), talking to someone standing in a market in Africa. She said it was 90 degrees in the daytime, and cooled off to 60 at night. She said that there are lots of children, and that they had the most beautiful voices when they sang. I'm sure she'll delete this post when she gets access, but she just wanted everyone to know she was okay. If we get any more news, I'll make sure you all know :)

P.S. Here is one of the better maps I have been able to find of Namibia. You can see Omaruru, directly North-West of Windhoek.
