Baboons and whatnot

Hey guys! After seeing the diamond mine in Kimberley, we made our way to Pietermaritzburg through the beautiful Drakensburg Mtns. It was a nine hour drive of amazing scenery; like nothing I've ever seen before. I saw a giraffe just chillin by the side of the road! We've been studying Hindu here in P-Burg, and there are SO many Indians here (holla Caitlin and Elizabeth)! We went to a Hindu temple and a mosque yesterday, and then ate Indian food (well I "ate" it; it was way too spicy for me). But it was super interesting. The province of KwaZulu Natal, (where we are now) actually has the highest population of Indians outside of India. Oh, and a few friends and I went to this Indian night club the other night! Dustin, Prenita and I ate dinner at this place that, we found out, turns into a nightclub at night. The owner approached us at dinner to offer us free admission and half of the VIP section for free. It was so funny. They treat us Americans like we're special or something.
I have class in 40 mins, and then we're off to Giant's Castle for a wildlife hike. I hear there are a lot of baboons. : ) After that we're on our way to Durban for some more Indian culture and then to Cape Town! I have to go now, but will leave you with this bit of info: there is no sense of time that I'm aware of in South Africa. It's puzzling and- I must add- frustrating that no one has a sense of urgency. So if you ever decide to come here, always allot extra time to do what you need to do! That's all for now. Miss you all terribly.
