July 2002

For their fall semester of junior year, Lindsay and Ben ended up on the same study abroad program in Cape Town, South Africa, where they lived together, traveled, partied, and pretended to study for five months. (Lindsay actually did study…) Lindsay, a shoe-in for the program and close friend of the program’s leading professor, may have helped Ben get into the program by sneaking a look at the applicant list, noticing Ben’s name, and putting in a good word. Ben and Lindsay’s acquaintence turned into a fast friendship over these amazing months away from home.
