Hi to everyone back home! We have had a couple of wonderful days here in South Africa. The weather and activities have been superb. Last night's Gala Event went very well and the choirs were well received. I think for many the highlight was sharing music with Siyacula. The hotel that has sponsored us is way beyond luxury! It has gorgeous gardens, 2 pools, gourmet restaurants and event 2 helicopters. To give you an idea how great it is, Leigh Yang went to the front desk to ask how she could get a copy of the latest Harry Potter book and within 15 minutes, someone from the hotel had gone out to buy it for her!! (and it didn't cost much at all!)
Today was wonderful - we all spent a little bit of time at the huge Somerset Mall buying everything from coffee to young designer clothes to gifts for those back home. After that it was off Speir - a fantastic wine farm that is so much more than a vineyard. People spent the time either at a picnic or eating in the amazing African experience restaurant. The food was once again incredible - most people have put on lbs+ on this tour. Also at Speir you can pet cheetahs, hold eagles and watch many animal demonstrations! SO MUCH FUN!
Tonight everyone is home with their host families - I can't wait to hear more stories tomorrow.
Katy has been feeling a little ill over the last week and I am certainly that is why her blog updates have been a little less frequent. I am sure you will hear from her again soon.
