Our Improptu safari




Here is the type of wildlife you can see from the road in this part of the world. Apparently the baboons are a real nuisance. We saw one from the road. It was sitting next to a garbage can trying to get some food. The snack chop operator at the top of Cape Point, near the light house told us that she has to shut the doors carefully at dusk as the baboons try to get into the shop to get food. They are much more agile than racoons and quite bright, so there are signs everywhere warning you about them. Though we looked everywhere we never saw one except from our car. This is quite an adventure.

Susan,
What great pictures! I cannot wait to see them all.
Looks to me as if there is another trip to S. Africa whether or not Sarah returns. I think we have to together.
Tomorrow you leave for Durban and I hope that it is every bit as exciting and compelling as the first week has been.
Keep posting pics and letting us know what you are doing.

Susan,
It's obvious you are having a great time. You took the good weather with you, it's been rainy and cold since you left. Sarah looks great, and I'm sure she's glad to see you. It looks like it is one of those away-times that can't be long enough. Continue having fun!
