Another beautiful day here in Cape Town. Yesterday, we spent the day with our new friend Petrus and another new friend Kim. Kim is the daughter of graduate student at ASU. Her mother, Antionette, is from Namibia. So we enjoyed lunch-bunny chow!
Petrus's favorite saying is "it's number one" and we have taken quite a liking to that saying and to him. He is truly an amazing human! He has seen such hardship, tragic losses, and continues to be optimistic and happy...and makes us laugh!
We have decided that South Africa is technologically far more advanced than the US...or perhaps we are not in the technological loop in the states so we don't know what exists. Kim showed us something like a chat room on her cell phone for her friends...we spend 25 minutes trying to figure out how to turn on a stove top in our cottage...we have a little washing machine for our clothes and it washes and drys in the same machine-we washed the clothes 3 times trying to figure out how to turn the machine into the dryer!
Today, Michele is getting a hair cut and then we are headed to Hout Bay to see the ocean. Tomorrow, Michele's cousin and her partner are coming in from California to travel with us! Pam and Lorrie will our travel buddies for the next 10 days as we head to Namibia!

Hi Maggie and Michele.
I do not suppose you are stll in Cape Town. If so, there is a restaurant franchise called Ocean Basket. I supply them squid and I am on the cover of their November News letter. I will emal it to you. You could have eaten my squid in one of their restaurants. One of the franchise owners would probably take the time to meet you. Are you still there? Chris
Two days until Thanksgiving!
Do a trip map of your journey you can put on the site?
Happy Thanksgiving from Mom, Don and Libby!
