\nSawubona is the “hello” we exchange here in the Zululand area of South Africa. \u00a0We have arrived in South Africa, and are taking some time to drink in the beautiful scenery in the province of KwaZulu-Natal and reconnect with old friends. \u00a0Meetings with the Music faculty at the university began last week, and we are working together to create course content for a curriculum in Music that will enable students at the university to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Music. \u00a0After work, I go to choir practice where I get my fix of South African singing and beautiful harmonies. Of course, Bhekani sends his love to everyone, and of course, we are only getting started and settling in. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0Our fast food of choice is called “Wimpy” – like Popeye’s buddy – because Dennis loves the fresh mango juice there.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

Our party shot below with Dennis and all the women took place at the home of our friends who had a birthday in the family, so we got together for a braai (South African cookout), cake and kid stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n
