Still Alive
Feb. 10th, 2006 12:42 amJust dropping in to let people know that I'm doing fine.
South Africa is nice, we got back from 6 nights in Kruger National Park on Wednesday, which was amazing. Unlike the last time I was in Africa, which was in August and thus winter, this time it was summer and so there were still many young animals, which is just cute as anything. We even saw a baby giraffe one morning that still had the remainder of its navel cord, so s/he was super new to this world.
We've had rain here on and off for the last 4 days or so, which is just totally bizarre for this region in this season. Yesterday they were saying that it was 21C (70-something F) in London, UK, in the middle of winter... so I guess we aren't the only ones with weird weather right now.
On Saturday we leave for Cape Town for a few days, and we'll be staying in the Stellenbosch wine region. Hopefully we'll make it up Table Mountain as well, which should make for stunning vistas. The weather for there is looking good at the moment... 27C. They were having their share of bizarre weather too, 40C which is a lot hotter for them usually, as their summers run in the mid 20 Celcius range. Whacky weather all around.
Dashiell is wooing women wherever we go, and I don't think my dad and Diane want to let him go back home with us when we leave ;) They're both completely in love with him, which isn't too strange of course ;)
Anyway, I have to go, as this computer is virtually stone-age and might lock up and die, and it's on dial-up too, argh!
