Well,
We are HERE!! Safe, uneventful flight... everyone raving about how fine South African airlines is. Joburg had 4 inches of snow yesterday (first time it's snowed in several decades!) BUT, all gone by our arrival.
Everyone is in great spirits, surprisingly coherent... our first group meal, a great exploration of S. African food (especially desserts).... and, happily, all remembered our sung blessing, Amen Siakadumisa! Yippee!
I suspect we'll all sleep very well tonight.... tomorrow we have a city tour of Joburg, JB has a radio interview to push Saturday's concert, and we have a choral workshop (IN ZULU) in the afternoon...
I'll keep this short.... 'cause, we're just a bit jet lagged... but, everyone is thinking of all of you back home and hoping that you keep us in your prayers as well!!Much love from S. Africa... more to come.

First noticed the southern sky. Thought the brightest object was Venus, but it wasn't in the ecliptic. The tour guide said it was Vega.
I hope that everyone has a safe and wonderful trip!
P.S. Could anyone pass along a hello to the Mygatt family for me? It would be much appreciated-thanks! :-)

Glad that you all made it safely!
Tim - if you're paying attention to the sky for stuff, remember that the satellite dishes look North in the Southern Hemisphere! (Tripped me up in Brazil lo these many years ago!)

One more nerd posting. St. Mary's Anglican Church (roughly). Actually, this is where we stopped. The church was around the corner. You would never have known such a beautiful church was secreted here.
