When Ben picked me up from the airport. I know...I look good right? 30 hours in an airplane good.
Our apartment at The Splice (fully furnished):
Upstairs guest bed (you're all coming to visit now ok?)
Our bedroom (upstairs):
I know right!?
By the way, we're feeling pretty safe...there are these ex-military 'policemen' called Tactical Units that monitor the streets in these intense black trucks. We've seen 4 or 5 so far around our neighborhood and yesterday passed a police dude with an AK-47 shoving a man around mad as heck. They've got our backs.
Our adapters aren't working as "converters" just yet....we plugged in our speakers to our computers and they blew up and started smoking. We tried to trim Ben's hott goatee today and the razor was about to explode. We've got some things to still work out...
Also, we met a man while we were getting a bunch of medical exams today to get our work visas that's lived here 3 years told us the area we're in is the best in all of Johannesburg as far as safety goes. Awesome right?
Now we've got to start planning our vacations and safari! The fun begins!

Holy smokes! What an apartment! :) And what a sweet husband! That's so cute that he brought you flowers. Tell him to give my husband a call... :) He's great but I definitely haven't gotten NEAR as many flowers since we've been married as when we were dating!
Camille, I love reading your blog! Sweet digs! Did it come furnished with everything? What an amazing adventure!

Oh, Wow! I LOVE your place! It is so nice. You guys are going to have to make some friends down there so you can show off your place! You know, I'm really starting to question the ability of electrical adapters to convert. I tried to use my curling iron (with an adapter) on my mission and it burned a chunk of my hair off. Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!
