Photo's from the Wildlife Preserve

First Dual

We had another awesome day. We went to a wildlife preserve and saw many animals. Baby lions and tigers as well as big ones. Also, saw hippos and a rhino. After the preserve we wrestled our first dual against our hosts Central Gueteng. We wrestled 33 matches and won 87-56. Colton won four matches three by pin. Zorg was 3-0 all by pin and Chance was 3-0 all by pin. After the match they took us to a nice dinner and had a wonderful time visiting. We leave today to wrestle at Pretoria then had up towards Kruger. We will enter the park tomorrow and stay until Friday. If I can get on the Internet I will tell more about it.

Congrats boys

Keep it up Scott! The photos and information are great and we all appreciate your time and efforts with the boys!
Today the boys went to Gold Reef City, Amusement Park and it sounds like they had a great time and there were some good water rides. Tomorrow they are spending time with their host families, doing whatever they are such as going to school, riding quads, etc. There is also a dual tomorrow night.
