Spanning the Globe

Leaving the USA

We leave on the 15+ hour flight to South Africa tomorrow. We will fly to Johannesburg from Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C., refueling in Senegal on the way. Then on to Bloemfontein, where we will meet with plant pathologists in the Plant Sciences Department at University of the Free State on Monday. We hope to have a chance to post a blog from Bloemfontein before traveling on to the Agricultural Research Council’s Small Grains Institute in Bethlehem on Tuesday.
