[oaktown1188]

For those of you who didn't know, team 1188 Oaktown Crewz has team members in both the United States and South Africa.

This past week the rest of our team flew over and we've been getting to know eachother. There's Petri, Liezl, Landi, Pieter and Neil and of course their coach "Uncle Pieter".

Some members of our team arrived at the airport last Thursday to pick up the South Africans who then came back to Dondero for a social, we toasted, ate, drank and had recess in the back parking lot.

This past week we've been hanging out, going shopping, and learning about eachothers lives. I've seen pictures of Petri's family, learned about Landi's home life, drawn with sidewalk chalk with Neil, gossiped with Liezl and hung out with pieter.

Our whole team will be in Atlanta for those of you who want to stop by and get to know them like I have. Our South African side is an amazing group of people and I'll be sad when they return to their side of the ocean.
