2 solid days. Not feeling great again on Saturday, but better rested on Sunday. Crossed over the highway for the first time today on the longer run and explored some of the neighborhoods to the north.

Yesterday Ivy and I met up with our advisor from Brown (Abby) and her family, who just arrived in Durban and are staying for the week. We headed down to North Beach's Golden Mile, a broad walkway right along the sand decorated with restaurants, bars, a small carnival-like theme park, and a public pool. After some high quality sandwiches at the Beach Cafe, where tables and chairs are set right out on the sand, we checked out some of the sand sculptures built by informal artists along the walk. In addition to some horses, dolphins, and cars, there were some sculptures of Durban's new World Cup stadium and the 2010 World Cup symbol.

I'm looking forward to meet up with Abby and co. again tonight for a trip to Taco Zulu, Durban's "premier" (and only?) Mexican restaurant.
