Return to South Africa 🇿🇦
After 12 years away, I had an amazing trip to Nashville, Tennessee, my ‘old hometown’ in the USA. I enjoyed reconnecting with many old friends and making some new ones. I stayed with my dearest friends, spent a lot of time at the Nashville Zoo, attended my very first high school graduation ceremony, and went to many graduation parties.
Thank you to everyone who made this trip possible. I will publish a detailed trip report on my blog in a few days, and I will be back at work at Thanda on 24 May.
I hope to be back soon — hopefully in less than another 12 years 😊
At the Nashville Zoo
I am glad that the audience enjoyed my talk last night at Nashville Zoo at Grassmere, Tennessee, USA. The collage shows the packed lecture room and a few of the animal pictures I took during this stay in Nashville. After almost two weeks, I will return to South Africa next week. I had a great time being back in the USA after leaving fourteen years ago.
