A beach near Port Alfred. Mom and dad didn't come with us.

Monkey right in town!!

Beach near PE. Thats what I woke up to and dolphins in the surf!

After going on an evening game drive at Schotia Game Reserve, we had a delicious meal cooked in Dutch ovens, over coals and on burners. We had kudu back strap (which was delicious, by the way), chicken, mashed potatoes, rice, beans, and some rolls cooked in the Dutch oven that just melted in your mouth.

Notice how close this lion is to our vehicle.

Peter, our game driver said that only a mother could love a warthog since they are so ugly!!!

Now I know why the tortoise won the race...this one was really moving fast!!!

Aren't the baby giraffes cute? One interesting fact about the male giraffe is that they can go bald!!!

Some of the Wildlife We Saw!!!

We saw this elephant in Addo Elephant Park. It walked right in front of the open air vehicle we were in.

Bungy Jumping, Anyone?

This is the highest single span concrete arch bridge in the world and the highest commercial bungy jump in the world!!! The bridge is 452 meters in length and 216 meters in hight. I was really tempted to take the plunge because I've always wanted to bungy jump but come on, I'm the mother and I HAD to set an example for Nicole & Brynna!!!

I meant to post this picture sooner. This is Tony and Elrie Robinson. They were some friends and the first people we met in South Africa. They were kind enough to pick us up from the Johannesburg airport since we had a layover until the next morning. We spent the night at their house then they took us back to the airport the next morning!!! Since this picture, they have moved to Ft. Beaufort where Tony will be working at a "Champs" Chicken Restaurant. Brynna is going to volunteer at the school Tammy~Rose (their daughter) plans to attend, starting on Jan. 14th.

Back in the USA!!!

Well, it's great to be back home after spending 42 hours in airplanes and airports. We had a great time in South Africa and saw lots of beautiful country and met some wonderful people. Now, I need to get busy and post some pictures of our time there.

Bruce and Barry Hoft own two "Champs" Crispy Fried Chicken restaurants, one in Alice, S. Africa and the other in Ft. Beaufort S. A. Their chicken and fish are awesome and their 'chips' are the best I've ever eaten!!! I'm sure glad they are half~way around the world because my cholesterol would be really taking a hit!!!
