Circle of Life

Today we arrived at the Pilanesburg game park in Sun City. While the soccer we have seen so far has been great, we are glad to be moving on to the next stage of our journey. And we are happy to have moved into a place that has heat! Unfortunately, we cannot get the camera to work at this resort's computer. We will just have to rub it in verbally for now. Our rooms come fully loaded with a hot tub on the patio and a sweet view that overlooks the game park. We hope to wake up tomorrow to find wild beasts drinking from our resort's watering hole. Or we can just wake up and view the watering hole from our tv. (They have a channel for it...)

Tomorrow we will begin our safari adventure. It's nice to be out of the city and the chaos. However, we will have one last night of amazing soccer. Tonight we will make the 45 minute drive to Rustenburg to see the USA take on Ghana (Tom King's favorite country). Following a victory, we plan to have a great night celebrating. It'll be fun to hang out in our hot tub on a cool night like tonight. Maybe we will find ourselves playing a little Circle of Death...
