On the eve of Canada Day

Tomorrow is Canada day, it also happens to be Burundi's independence day!

No one is working tomorrow... Well, I think we will work half the day and just chill tomorrow afternoon. I'm pretty excited, we've stocked up the beer, got the food supplies to make pizza and invited some of the local burundi co workers to stop by tomorrow should they feel like taking part in some beer pong, flip cup, pizza Canada day fun.

The 5th of July, I head down to Bujumbura a 4 hour drive to catch a flight to South Africa at 1:25 AM the 6th. I can't wait.

I've gotten in contact with the Ulti club in Cape Town, seeing as how I'll be spending 3/4 of my time in Cape Town, I wanted to see if I could get into some Ulti.

I need to bid... I need to...

I'm really glad to be able to say, that the Ulti community stands strong internationally, kind, welcoming generous people in Canada and in South Africa. I'm invited to take part in beach pickup on Sunday and a Winter League game with "Chilli" later on that week with the option of even practicing with them. Overwhelmed with joy, excitement and filled with anticipation. They also offered my colleague and I a ride from the airport to our hostel should we need it.
Reminds me of going to MUCbowl in New Brunswick and staying at a teams house, a team only a few of us knew.

I love Ulti.
