Remember when I posted about my new favorite show, "Moms on the Road: Africa"? Well, the neatest thing happened. I got an e-mail from one of the moms on the show, Camisha. Not sure how she found me. Camisha, if you're reading, how did you find me anyway?
I had written that some of the moms seemed oblivious about where they were going, and that one had remarked she didn't know there were whites in South Africa-- well, Camisha e-mailed me to clear up that it had been a joke. Seemed like the Travel Channel tried to play up the "clueless" side of the moms, when in reality, they probably weren't. Camisha wasn't. Glad I didn't offend her. She just wanted to clear up the misconception.
Anyway, since then, Camisha and I have exchanged a few e-mails and I've enjoyed corresponding with someone who was able to go on such an amazing journey. She said something in one of her e-mails that I thought was beautiful, me being all Africa obsessed and all!
"She is the mother of us all. No matter the color."
I can't wait to go back someday! Oh, and watch the show! It's on the Travel Channel on Thursday nights. I'm living vicariously through the moms on the show until I get me some money to travel again!
Posted by Hannah at October 8, 2006 10:47 PMHow fun that Camisha emailed you! I've always wanted to go to Africa. I used to say I wanted to live there, until I had kids. Now I think I would be too freaked out. And, I like living in the same town as my babysitters (mom/mother in law). :)

Posted by: Trace at October 9, 2006 04:29 AMVery cool. That's awesome you've been able to travel over there, I'll have to live vicariously through your posts since we only have rabbit ears on our tv (about 12 channels, lol)!

Posted by: Chas at October 9, 2006 11:58 AMThat is very cool. What a small world.
Posted by: Ani at October 9, 2006 02:45 PMFun! She probably googled the show to see what people were talking about- I would do the same thing! But it's awesome that it's turned into an email friendship!! I am soooooooo excited about this weekend!! Call me anytime today, I'm just hanging around the house.
