WELCOME TO OUR BLOG
As anyone who has participated in UConn's Education Abroad in Cape Town will tell you, there are no words to adequately explain the depth of the experiences, no illustrations to sufficiently describe the hospitality of the people, and no pictures to begin to capture the exquisite scenery. Therefore this blog is only intended to provide an unfolding story of the those co-educators who are traveling together as companions on this amazing journey.
As Resident Director of this program since 2008 it is once again my privilege and honor to accompany another group of students to this place I have come to know and love.
In peace, with hope,

This past weekend has
definitely been eventful and very interesting. Cape Town makes it impossible to
ever be bored. Last Friday we started our scuba certification lessons. That was
so much fun and I cannot wait to dive in the actual ocean and see all of the
aquatic life. On Saturday I took my first trip to Old Biscuit Mill and there
was amazing food and the cutest little shops. Then Taylor and I went to our
first rugby game. We showed up without tickets and no team to root for. However,
after purchasing tickets and decking out in Stormers apparel, we had a blast
and both of us really didn’t have any idea what was going on. I definitely want
to go to another game soon! On Sunday a large group of us made our way to
Mzoli’s, an amazing brai place. We met up with a group of kids from our Africa
Unite and we ate and danced and it was so much fun. We spent the entire
afternoon having the time of our lives and we plan on going back very soon!
This coming week/weekend should be just as eventful!
