Gago Namolato (no worries)

Hello all, welcome to South Africa, where the winter is freezing, strangely enough. I don't have much time, but here are a few updates: our host family is awesome, we sing traditional songs every night with them and quote English commercials they see. We ate cow stomach for dinner last night. Yum. Dani wouldn't touch it, but I tried it. No comment.
Dani is experiencing the 10 plagues, but we still have some of our first aid kit left, so hopefully that will last us another 2 months. Tomorrow we'll be hiking the local mountains (hills, actually), but everyone is warning us about the snakes and baboons that bite (the claws that snatch, etc.), so we're taking one of our language teachers with us who is from this area.
We went to a Women's Day "celebration" on Thursday, but unfortunately it became a diatribe concerning the unmistakable place of the man as the head of the family, with 30 seconds spent concerning the fact that the only place for a woman is in connecting the man to the family and community. There was no empowerment of women, no praise for the fact that they hold the communities and societies and, therefore, governments and world peace and survival in their capable hands, especially in South Africa.
Well, I'm about out of time. My family will have more details if any should so desire.
"Let us live and strive for freedom
In South Africa, our land!"
