Still working on Internet access; different to do without. Relying on offline information sources, wow! Not easy to adjust to. Another orientation with students at their "backpackers", which is like a hostel. Very cool place. A planned tour of Cape Town was postponed due to weather. Water falling from the sky. Rain, I think. Back at room, still haven't worked out Internet access. How do people live without it? Returned to Backpackers for a Braai (South African Barbecue). Local musician brought instruments and tried to teach us rhythm. I failed. Food and company were incredibly awesome though!
Drove there and back in silly, tall, small, rental car. Feels like driving a clown car, on the wrong side of everything. Did well, aside from missing our destination by 5 miles and backtracking. Then, on the way home, turned right from a one way street into the right 2 lanes of oncoming traffic on a busy road. The headlights coming at me acted as an excellent reminder to move to the left. Very good luck provided for the median and left lanes open as I promptly made a direct path to the "correct" side of the road. Lesson learned. Do not rely on instincts and relax. Stay alert driving. Got that too :)
