Next time I plan a get together for the Bengals, someone please warn me


Our Friends, Michelle's colleagues

After our long, long weekend, I think we feel like we've finally settled in. We had a great time with all of our new friends and capped it off with a braai at our place to watch the Bengals. Unfortunately, the game was a joke. The highlight of the game was seeing pictures of home.. Maura saw a picture of the Children's Museum and looked really confused. We saw the skyline and tallstacks, all the symbols of home and it made the kids really excited. We grilled these great beef and pork sausages they make here that are really, really good. It's hard to describe the flavor, hopefully some of you will get to try them when you visit. Spent today cleaning a bit, and am searching for vacation spots for us in South Africa during our first school break. Our plan is to drive to the coast and hang out on the Indian Ocean for a week. We'll see how it goes.. Leaning towards Uhmlanga Rocks or Chaka's Rock as our destination.. There's a coastal town named Ballito that is a possibility as well.
Kids are home from school and are watching Disney Channel as I write this(even in Africa). There 's a big party planned for Friday night at Northside school for the Botswana premiere of High School Musical 2.. We are very excited.. Will Troy and Gabriella last? I sure hope so, they're relationship seems strong and boy can they sing!!
All for now, hope everything is great at home...Fill in our poll for the world series..if your team wins, we'll give you round trip tickets to Gaborone Botswana!!!
