Feeling at home in Durban

Three weeks has passed and we are still here in Durban counting down the days until Comrades. Life here is pretty simple... we chill by our pool in the mornings, take a "taxi" (which is a cheap mini-bus full of people) downtown or to the beach or a museum, then we run, eat, and and do it again. We have met some great people and spend a lot of time with our roommates from Norway. The girls took me out for a night of drinking to help calm down my nerves and allow me to forget about running for a little while! It was good times indeed.
Also our running friend Colin has begun a ritual of inviting us for Sunday lunch where we get to eat his wife's amazing cooking and chill by the pool with some beers and his family. His wife is even going to teach me some of her African recipes like steam bread and briyani- I am very excited!!
