Welcome to Bootcamp

Fieldwork doesn't start until Monday, and Sarah and I have been taking advantage of our mini-vacation by sleeping in, reading, and doing some exploring here and there.

This morning, while we were still in bed, we got a knock on the door, "You need to get up, now!!" And so we jumped out of bed, swung open the door, and met Francis, our very enthusiastic cleaning lady. She gave us clean sheets which we put on our beds. I guess we didn't do a great job, because upon examining our work, she asked us if we still lived with our parents and proceeded to re-make the beds. Sarah and I sheepishly watched as she man-handled the mattresses.

So, maybe I'll learn how to make beds in South Africa, too.
