BUSY Day

Greetings from wonderful South Africa! As you can see from the pictures we had a very busy and packed day yesterday. I keep feeling as though we don't have enough time at each venue to explore all that I would like to. After visiting two universities, I definitely would like to come back as a visiting professor. There is soooooo much to learn from them. I am on information overload right now. The more I learn about their education system and issues the more I see many parallels between their issues and those of the US schools. I am convinced that collaboration is the key to solving these global educational issues.

Since we were at universities, as you can see from the pictures, the areas around the campuses were VERY nice! (Again, no different from the areas around most of our campuses). If you didn't think about it, you would almost forget that you were in South Africa... the traffic, the cars, the modern buildings, and yes the mall. We went to the mall for lunch and guess what I saw... a MAC counter!! So, yes, I could definitely come to South Africa and live because MAC is available.

I'm having so much fun and learning so much. These postings are just a glimpse into all that I am experiencing. I have to hold back the tears so many times, because it's really a dream come true.
