July 17- Goodbye to Africa
Saturday, July 17 My last day in Africa. I never thought hat this day would come. We have always talked about me leaving and I knew I would return home at some point, but it always seemed so far off. It is weird to me. I don’t feel like I have spent a month already [...]
July 15-Managers
Thursday, July 15 Today was departure day for the rest of the staff. All of the managers were leaving except for me, my mom, and the two IT staff that we love to hang out with! We packed up the whole office and worked all day long to label, tape, stack and move boxes! I [...]
July 14- The Real Africa
Wednesday, July 14 Today was an awesome day! All of the local staff left, which was kind of sad because I was just getting to know everyone. A lot of the managers were still here, so we were all able to get out and do some touristy things. In the morning, we went ziplining. This [...]

July 6- Match Day!!
Tuesday, July 6, 2010 Match Day. Quite a procedure. We had around 400 guests, and they all had to get to the stadium, into the hospitality tent, and then to their seats. I actually started the day early with shuttles to the Waterfront, which is about 20 minutes away. This is where we stayed before [...]
July 4 and July 5- Arrivals
Sunday July 4 and Monday July 5 Well I will have to say, this is probably one of the most memorable July 4th that I will experience. Not because of the big celebrations with fireworks and American barbeques, but because of the FIFA World Cup! The day was absolutely crazy! There were departures from the [...]
