It is the day of the beginning of the big trip. Thank you to my friend Lynn who has helped me set up this blog and tells me how to not make comments to my comments. I am going to try my best to keep it up each day. We will, however be camping for about 5 days so you will not hear from me then. You MAY not hear from me at all after that because we are camping in TENTS in the Kgalagadi Frontiers Park in Botswana and the northern part of South Africa. There lives black maned lions, worthogs, oryx, eland, and other animals that we do not have in the states.
The Boshoffs are an Afrikaans family that I have been in contact with for almost a year. Ras, is a part time cattle farmer, and 1/2 time Vet tech for the government. Karin, is a mom, and teacher. Willem is 11 years old and has lots of fun in the out of doors. What child would not love having all of the space to play and explore. This is a delightful family who I am REALLY looking forward to just living life with for the next 3 weeks.
