It is June 10th 2012. We are so exhausted but we have finally arrived after being on the plane for over a day! The plane ride was a little rocky. My sister slept most of the time but I was jus too excited. There were so many people waiting for us when the plane landed. The people here are so welcoming its unbelievable. Johannesburg is so beautiful. It looks like a city in the U.S. Its hard to tell if we are in South Africa or New York City minus all the people.

We will probably rest up for a little but we are going to the Apartheid museum later on around 3 o'clock. We wanted to make sure that was one of the first things we did. The museum is closed on Mondays so the day we landed seemed perfect. It costs 55R per person. I learned a lot about the Apartheid in 10th grade so Im going to pretend like I am the expert. My class sent Nelson Mandela cards for his 90th birthday

Tomorrow we're going to Pretoria, on the three captitals in South Africa. We want to see the Voortrekker Monument there. Then we want to head over the the Freedom Park. I really want to get a picture of the Eternal FlameAlso of the Amphitheather. Then hopefully we can get some lunch while we're down there and talk to some locals.
