World Cup US/SA 16 reunion

So, here we are 11 days into July already. We've been back in South Africa for a month already. Two weeks after returning to SA we had a little get together with some of our old Peace Corps friends. 4 of us extended for a year (Me, Brooke, Tom Barker, and Nick Verono) and two more of our friends have come back to South Africa (Rose Zulliger, and Keri Dodge). Keri is working just up the road at YWAM/Ten Thousand Homes and Rose is getting a masters in public health down at University of Cape Town.

From L to R (Brooke, me, Tom, Nick, Rose, Keri)

We got together to reminisce old times and we also got to watch the USA in the world cup, well, not live, but we got to go to a bar together and cheer on the red, white and blue.

Go USA

Unfortunately, the US lost to Ghana 2-1 in that game. Disappointing, but at least we got to go down together. It was great to have each other and it definitely made the game more fun. For the US we were playing the last African team surviving and we were the definite minority at the bar.
