p.s. ~ Just a quick note about my serious envy of Carrie right now. Her latest email from Cape Town, South Africa told us about her adventures in the city and surrouding areas before classes start. She's been to the beach (85 degrees and sunny, naturally), seen zebras and baboons...in the wild, and saw a beach FULL of African penguins lounging around. I LOVE penguins and my envy sky-rocketed through the roof after I read that line of her email. Do you think Customs would catch on to a penguin-shaped backpack on her return flight?
