Ditto to that last bit.
So yesterday was our first real day on the program and we wasted no time getting started. We left the hotel around 8 am and went to The Cradle of Humankind, an area rich with fossils and artifacts dating back to the hominids. When we arrived at the park, our guide first took us into Sterkfontein, the cave in which Little Foot remains and where most of the fossils have come from. We crawled around tunnels (and I mean literally crawled because the opening were no more than 3 ft high on places) and saw animals that had been preserved in the rocks. Once we finished that tour, our next tour guide took us over a few hills where we had a lecture on fossils and the development of humans over millions of years. She showed us their collection of craniums, from Mrs. Ples to homo sapiens. After a short lunch break, our next assignment was to find a cave. Using our knowledge on how groups of trees tend to form on to of caves, we found on nearby and proceeded to go in. Unlike Sterkfontein, this cave still has a lot of research going on in it, so it was interesting to see a site that is excavated. When we got out, we learned that hominids ate termites, so we tapped into a mound nearby and some people actually tried them. I stuck to my vegetarian ways and passed. We then had a short lecture on the evolution of tools and were encouraged to make our own. I realized that if there were to ever be an apocalypse in my life, I would not survive, as my spear was a joke.
Today was a less intensive day. To follow up from our experiences yesterday, we went to the Origins Centre at the University of Witwatersrand and were given a special tour. After a delicious lunch at the center, we had a brief lecture about medicinal plants, where we learned about how plants are getting exploited at a raid rate, but for many families, this is their only at of income to support their family, so the government is having a hard time controlling this. Afterwards we took a brief walk around the university and hung out in the student centre for a bit. The campus is beautiful and it even had an amphitheatre much like the one at UVA. It’s been wonderful to have these experiences and to learn about the issues facing South Africa in the country itself. Tonight will be a low key night and we will probably watch a
movie on social issues and continue to prepare for our presentations on Thursday. I am starting to feel better from all the sickness last week, but still trying to get some rest. Unfortunately, the dogs here like to bark at all hours of the night. I like dogs just as much as the next person, but I also like my sleep. Oh well, that is all part of traveling abroad—adjusting to new surroundings.
SOOOOOO JEALOUS, KK. I hope you’re having a blast!!
