WEDNESDAY VOLUNTEERING Rainbows are something that I haven’t seen in a while considering that it never rains in California . I had seen them plenty of times in Florida , even a double rainbow once in Greece , but the rainbow that I saw on Wednesday morning in Muizenberg , South Africa on the way to Christian David Primary School was unlike any rainbow I’ve ever seen before in my life. It was vibrant and pronounced against the dark gray sky behind it, but what was the most notable was that you could actually see where the end of it led. “Hey Karl, can we take a detour and go find that pot of gold?” Party boy joked, but for once I didn’t disagree with his idea. Karl stopped for us to take photos in an open field where we attempted taking “jumping pictures”, and partially succeeded. Just jumping under a rainbow in South Africa Blinded by the beauty of the rainbow that the rain had caused, I didn’t take into account the toll that the weather had taken on the play area of the school.

One month in

We’ve done it. We’ve been “traveling” for one month. To be honest, it doesn’t really feel like that much! Perhaps because we started with what we’re used to and know we love like big European cities. In any case, it seems like a milestone and what are milestones for if not reflection (in the form of blog posts of course). 30 days in and we are very happy and very relaxed. We still like each other quite a lot and still have things to talk about every day. We’ve visited 6 cities, taken 2 flights, 3 trains, and 2 buses. We’ve shopped at every supermarket chain that exists in the Czech Republic and Poland and are working on Germany . This life of leisure and adventure suits us. We can’t wait to see what the next month holds.
