Jozi

After an amazing two months in the states, we have landed in Johannesburg or Joburg or Jozi.  We've taken to the city quickly and much of that has to do with the great fortune we had in finding a place to live.  We're living in a small cottage on the property of a wonderful family who have been extremely generous in introducing us to running clubs, information, and more.  The cottage overlooks a boy's college (high school) so we often overhear field hockey practice or see the kids training as we run on the grounds.  We even get to use the tennis courts for free!  We feel so lucky to have found this adorable cottage and feel a world away from Delhi.

Rochester

Our photos from Okoboji are all on Barb's computer so they haven't made it to the blog.  But here is a photo of Em and Kate in Rochester.  Kate is SIX months pregnant here!  She's due at the end of October, and it was such a treat to have time together.
