Safari - South Africa

Hi All,

Hope all is well w/ you. We think of friends and family often on this voyage. It gives us all time to reflect on life. We were lucky enough to check out a Safari w/ the kids minus lil D because he would be too tasty a morsel I guess...

It all worked out well, he had a South African woman mind him while we were out in the Land Cruiser. We saw Lions, Rhinos, Giraffes, Zebras, cheetahs , Hippos, Kudu, Springboks, Buffalo, Wildebeest, Tortoise, birds galore, a huge variety of animals . The only one we didn't see was the Elephant (there's always India) . The guides taught us a great deal about animal habits and patterns.

It was very nice to see more of South Africa then Cape Town. The landscape is so very diverse , vast plains, huge mountians of stone , valleys of white Lilly's , farms , waterfalls , vineyards and utterly perfect beaches. You will also see the townships which are shacks and crammed together right off highways. Some are being rebuilt in places that resemble small section 8 housing at home. Jobs for the black man are scarce. The divide between rich and poor , black and white still quite evident in this land. More on that later.

best

Johnnie
