Today we are meeting up with our SA friends after a long wait. Michelle was in ecstasy, because her friend Ashley was coming through. After the call from Mark the previous evening Michelle was in “cannot wait” mode. Hair had to be done clothes had to be ready etc. Usually I struggle to get Michelle up in the mornings, but this morning when I said get ready to shower, it was like a bow out of an arrow.
We were to meet Mark in the parking lot and then we would go to Gatlinburg to have a picnic with the kids at the river, seeing it was little Denise’s 3rd Birthday.
So off we went to the river. When we arrived there out of pure coincidence we met another ex- South African couple from South Carolina that were on holiday with their 4 kids. What are the odds to meet the nicest people with the same age and kids in all of the places. Wim and Erna came over to the States as Students (15 years ago) after being drafted by the US as Physiotherapists. After that they just never returned to SA and made their lives in the States.
It was good to have a nice group of South Africans all together to exchange valuable information about SA and the USA.
