I've heard S. Africa has really changed over the last few years. I've met many beautiful people from that region.
I wish I could get away and travel to Africa, I'm into archeology, anthropology and geology and would love to see all of Africa someday. Maybe you could be my tour guide, what do you say?
Welcome to CNBP forum. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with all the features. There is a discussion board that you may search by topic, a blog where you may post information you would like others to see and a members directory. THANK YOU for taking the time to add your city and state to your profile. Although the issues we face are universal many of the changes will take place locally and that is when we need to be able to contact each other instead of the entire group. If you need any assistance please feel free to contact me. Again, welcome and I hope you find CNBP to be a valuable resource.
