Pictures of our first days here

I think I have finally figured out how to upload pictures here.  Anyway, these are some photos of our first couple of days in South Africa:

A rental car... if only it were ours!

The day after we arrived was the opening day of the tournament, so we went up to a nearby pub to watch South Africa play Mexico with a bunch of South African fans. All of us but Greg wore yellow and/or green in solidarity with Bafana Bafana (the South African team), so we didn’t let him into the picture:

When SA scored, the whole place went insane, but sadly we only managed very blurry pictures of the chaos.  Pathetically, this was the best one:

After the match, we met up with the Schlichter family for dinner (they are old family friends of ours, also here for the World Cup):
