Summer Fun in the Cape!

We've been traveling through Namibia & South Africa for just over a week now and are having an amazing time whilst eating summer fruit (peaches, watermelon, plums, corn)...and we've just entered the Western Cape and are seeing something we haven't in a long time...green! It's amazing and today, after a year hiatus, we hope to see the ocean. So cool!

Leaving the village was sad as so many kids came by and were obviously upset that this was it as we had been their playmates for the last year. We gave away some of our stuff & clothes and decks of cards and harmonica lessons were taught successfully by Eve and were a hit!

Then off to Etosha where we saw the most spectacular lightning ever as well as Leopard, a lion family with cubs & kill and many new creatures for us (Cape Fox, etc.)

Then off to our favourite mountain Spitzkoppe, through Windhoek and down through the desert. Yesterday we had a day of hiking in the Cedarburg Mountains which was great after some long days. Tonight fish & the sea, tomorrow Cape Town!

Looking forward to seeing and hearing from many of you...we'll be home the 22nd and there are plans for a few gatherings. Looking forward to Double Chocolate Porter, Tofu, black beans, mexican food and some beautiful cold weather!
