Ring around Rosie

Rose likes circles...whether it is with guys in a pub sharing home brew out of a bucket.... Or ring around the rosey with pre schoolers.

Table Mountain and Robbin Island

We are in DC.

Our plane to SF is delayed an hour. We slept the best ever on fairly empty plane...Capetown to Dakar to Dulles... More than 8 hours.

It has been a great trip... Engs are good. Ready to hit a rat race. Love, Mom

Ready to come home

We thought of Ginny's quilting as we got ready to leave Joburg.... Hal and I leave for DC and Rose to London. We both arrive at SFO near noon on Wednesday. We are almost "Out of Africa".

Bo-Kaap

Bo-Kaap is a section of Cape Town for colored people, mthose are people who are not pure black African or white. There used to be many slaves from Malaysia. We went to a spice shop in their neighborhood where Weylin's sister bought some ground Ginger.
I really liked the brightly painted houses of all different colors. We also ate Malay food which was sweet more than spicy.

Our last day in Capetown was really great. We are flying home tomorrow after we townships in the morning. It will take 30 hours to come home.

Cape of Good Hope

Wonderful day on the Cape of Good Hope. Perfect weather. Adaptable driver....took to cookie outlet, seafood restaurant, penguins, wine tasting, university and more! It is my kind of travel! Tomorrow we walk the city from central hotel on Greenmarket Square where Africa curios are sold. Traveling with Engs is easy.

Happy Birthday to brother Rick!

Penguins

Dear Atticus,

Today we went to the most southern part of Africa . We saw black footed penguins near our lunch spot. It was fun watching them go into the water to catch fish. We only have one more day on Africa , then we fly home. See you soon.

Love, Grandma
