We are home. It's winter...serious winter. Snow today (5-8 inches) and ice tomorrow (.25-1 inch). But everything about our 3-week South African summer lingers. Biltong made it through customs (we are such scofflaws). Shot glasses adorned with images of the big 5 are awaiting the perfect Amarulla moment. My shopping list contains the ingredients for milk tart and rusks. And I am reworking the hundreds of pictures to make meaningful (yet brief) presentations for a variety of interested groups. Once we catch our breaths, the next step is to plan for the 3-week visit of the South African team (our newest friends) who will be here in March.

  2. Glad you enjoyed the blog. It has been a pleasure doing it. I look forward to speaking about our journey at the Rotary meeting. The problem will be getting us to STOP talking about it. Thank you and all Rotarians for this amazing opportunity. I look forward to the continued partnership with our South African counterparts.
