The Team

We bought our plane tickets, so we are officially headed back to South Africa with our team of 11 students and our kids!  I am really excited.  I'm so glad I went with Chad to help set up the trip because I feel pretty prepared (well as much as I can be) to bring our friends and family with us!  I know how to pack and I know a little bit of what to expect since I've seen where we will be going and living.  We leave from Indy on May 8th and will be returning to the US on June 26th.

I'm still in the process of getting to know most of the students, but I know we will become quick friends as we share this experience of living in another country together for seven weeks!

 The team from top to bottom, left to right: Jimmy, Kyle, Mike, Ben, Staci, Maira, Sam, Danielle, Karlie, Michaela, & Carly.  They are from USI, ISU, Butler, and IUPUI.

These are the photos of our guest home, Tower Lodge, that we took on our recent trip.  You can see Evie and William's window at the very top of the house.  They probably have my favorite room because they have the best view of the city!

The top right photo is taken from the front porch of the house.  It's fun that they have tennis courts as well as a pool (However it will be winter when we are there, so we won't be able to swim!)  

The bottom photo is of the dining area inside.  This is where they serve breakfast to the other guests and where we will be eating many of our meals and doing a lot of hanging out when we have down time!
