A precious 'borough moment

Today I ventured into downtown Hillsborough for the first time and I was charmed. Kasi was my awesome tour guide, giving me little history snapshots of the town here and there.

 
And here is my favorite!

Kasi is such a special friend to me. I still remember our first Swahili class at the Global Center two years ago where I first met her. On that note, I also have to mention Ginny who has been just as precious. I can laugh, cry, get encouraged, make fun with them (and of them) daily and never get fed up. They make me feel genuinely at home at UNC.

I am thankful for that skype invention. I don't know how I'd survive without them otherwise this next year.
