Johannesburg, Part One

We arrived in Joburg last night, and were picked up at the airport by our friend Gavin. We met Gavin and Dia when we were on our honeymoon in SE Asia - we happened to be seated at the same table during our resort's Christmas pageant on Koh Samui, and we've been friends ever since. We visited them in June 2010 when we were in South Africa to go on safari, explore Cape Town and the Wine Lands, and see a few World Cup games.

Gavin took us home and made a great chicken soup for us. It's winter in South Africa, which means it's warm in the daytime (around 70 degrees) and freezing in the evening (seriously freezing - it's going to be below 30 tonight). After a few glasses of wine, whiskey, and a shot of Jaeger, we fell into bed.

Got up late this morning and did a quick workout in Gavin and Dia's gorgeous backyard. Asa had a quick driving lesson in Gavin and Dia's Porsche. Please note that we are in a convertible in winter. Effing awesome.

We pick up our LandRover tomorrow, which includes a 2-hour orientation on how to work everything. We'll post more later. Love to you all!
