George, Knysna, and transfer 05/08/2009
 We spent about four days in George, though we spent as much of that time in surrounding areas as we did in George itself. We did visit some Rotary projects there and a primary school, pictured here. The typical class size is about 45, and it does go even higher than that. These kids were able to name a few places in the U.S. and knew the name of our president. I doubt the reverse would be true in a classroom at home.  The Knysna Rotary Club hosted us for a day and took us to Plattenberg Bay for lunch, of which this gigantic oyster was a part. Great with tabasco.  On May 5, we were driven to our next stop: Beaufort West. Here we are in the van. Amazingly, our group is still getting along marvelously.
