East London Day 10-11.  After arriving at the East London airport, we picked up our rental car and headed to the B&B to dropp off our things.  Our Hosts Duane and Stephen from the University of Fort Hare, met us at the airport as well.  It was nice to finally meet them in person. 

After lunch (African Style) we finally set out for the UFH campus.   We could not have asked for a better set up.  It had everything we needed to facilitate brainstorming and collaboration.  We learned a lot about the university, it's history, mission, current state, opportunities and challenges.  We met a number of the faculty and staff who were all warm and welcoming! 

We then headed for home to celebrate Mohit's birthday (including a freshly baked cake made by Rebecca, decorated by the team!) 

Friday I drove to UFH (stick shift on the opposite side!) that was a fun experience,  I think I gave David a few Grey hairs.....  =o)

We had a pretty productive day including lunch out with Duane, a stop at the local market on the beach, crossed a few items off the "to do" list for our project and enjoyed a Mexican dinner with the team!
