Wednesday, September 1st

Today is the first day of spring and we are happy to be back “home” with our host family. Here are Francois , age 9(called Pukkie – short u sound) and Franzel, age 12, building legos with Hans and Annika. Teammates Laurie, age 14, and Dominique, age 14, help Hans clean out the rondavel to make a place for their LEGO robotics team to practice. I will be coaching this team called Jinx-Jinx (it means computer wizard in Afrikaans). Our other team members will be Zac, Hans’s friend from Florida, and Annika who has recently been switched over to this team.
