Following is the planned itinerary subject to change for the 2010 Oregon to South Africa cultural exchange. Please keep in mind that no matter how much planning and scheduling goes into these trips, there will always be a hurdle or two. Remember that not everyone thinks like Americans so be ready to take in other peoples veiws and way of life. The purpose of this trip is learning about people on the otherside of the world and represent the sport of wrestling.

Sounds like no Kruger Park but the boys did get to go to a game reserve and saw all kinds of wildlife. I don't know the name of the place. Anyone know when they leave for Capetown?

ReplyDeleteHopefully the boys are all wrestling well and having a lot of new experiences. I know Jake and Caleb really want to go hunting I hope that happens for them. I am glad the other boys are calling home Jake and Caleb let me know they landed safe and I haven't heard a word since. So if anyone can find out how Jake and Caleb are doing it would be greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThe boys did call thanks to Andy and Tucker. Jake called again this moring said that they are having fun. Said the Beach was cold yesterday and a free day tomorrow, the tournament was really loud so I could barely hear them.
ReplyDeletehere is a link to the club that hosted the boys for the J Reitz the results are posted and there are some pics too
