Do One Thing Everyday that Scares You: Learning how to drive stick shift on the left side of the road in Cape Town

There have been a lot of exciting things happening the past few days, including a hike up Lion's Head with some of the GRS global staff members (pictures to come!).  And although the hike was unbelievably beautiful, the most noteworthy event in my mind was learning how to drive stick shift. In Cape Town. On the left side of the road.  Durkin and I needed to start learning as soon as we got here because our jobs require the most driving, from transporting coaches to schools (since most coaches don't know how to drive), to rushing off quickly to buy some more food/equipment for an intervention.  Talia, the current Programs Intern at the Football For Hope Centre, took us out for a lesson, and she was a great teacher.  She stayed calm as we rolled down hills, and stalled in the middle of intersections with our windshield wipers moving instead of the turn signal.  But, no worries (Mom), Talia made sure we didn't crash into anything, and she's still around for another month to give us more lessons. :)
