So, on Saturday it was the Rugby World Cup! England against South Africa…
Tom and I made our way down to Neighborhoods where they were showing the rugby…
There were quite a few people from Lynn there and somehow there was an obvious division: South African supporters on one side and the English supporters on the other. The game was quite close and unfortunately South Africa didn’t score any tries… but we won! For the first time since I’ve been in the USA, I experienced the patriotism of a mass group of South African’s abroad. Every one wore their rugby shirts, and we even brought our flag along. It was great fun and South Africa is now the champions of the 2007 Rugby World Cup! I am so proud!

Moment of glory

An extremely happy president – Thabo Mbeki

There’s a saying in South Africa, ‘my blood is green and my heart is gold’.
