Travel Day

We stayed last night at another beautiful and unique place in Johannesburg, the Airport Bird and Game Lodge. They had a herd of reindeer (!) which they called "Santa Claus reindeer". The owner said to us "I think they come from Canada"!

This morning we and our luggage were herded onto two busses to the airport and we flew to Manzini Eswatini. We will be here for three nights and will do partner visits for the next two days. Bonnie will visit the Eswatini Nurses Association tomorrow and Laurie will visit SWAGAA.

Before dinner we had a practice with the whole group. The person who choreographed the Powered By Love dance, which VG4A did as a flash mob in 2018 along with many other groups around the country, Ariel Eastman, is with us, so she is trying to teach it to all of us so we can perform it a few times. We are definitely not ready for tomorrow! (This song was written by Stephen Lewis's 17-year-old grandson: Canadian grandmothers dance to raise awareness for World AIDS Day 2018.)
