quick update from Mauritius

bonjour! i'm currently at an internet cafe in mauritius and just wanted to update quickly. i'll add more later.

-i'm in love with cape town, south africa. definitely going back for the 2010 world cup. if you're in, let me know. it's an amazing place. i definitely felt that i didn't have enough time there. it was simply breathtaking.

-my 3 day safari was the shiiiizz! i got a lot of great shots and video footage. wish i could post the videos... :(

-currently in mauritius... a small island near madagascar. this is known as the 'spring break' port of SAS... yeeeaaaahh i'll leave it at that for now.
-i've been sick practically every other week because of all the hour changes and probably just a weak immune system. last night i woke up from a nap with green gunk in my eyes and nose treasures all over my face. pretty!!

-our next port is INDIA. i've been looking forward to going to india for almost a year now. i know it's going to be a humbling experience.

-i wish i had time to truly blog right now. one realization i've had is that though i will see a lot of phenomenal sights across the world, this experience is also about the smaller things: being able to hold a memorable conversation with a stranger, singing random songs with my roommate in our room, and getting up at 5am to watch an african sunrise. these are the little things that make this experience worthwhile.

-last but not least: this should've been the VERY first thing to write in my blog:

this is the most unique experience i've ever been through. EVER.
