We found out only seven people would be invited to Africa.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIt was bittersweet for those who made it because just as strong a group could have been composed from those who didn&#39;t make it.

For those who weren&#39;t, we&#39;ll have many opportunities to continue to be involved in Pangaea projects together.
