Fun stuff 04/28/2009
Our Rotary hosts have been taking good care of us these past few days. They've made sure that we've seen some of the best parts of their country.  On Saturday, we went wine tasting at Delta wine farm. They had some great stuff, and we were disappointed to learn that shipping to the U.S. wasn't an option. They also had a great museum detailing the history of the area, going back to the Stone Age.  On Sunday, we went to Spier, a farm and wildlife refuge. They take in cheetahs (and other animals) who have been injured or orphaned. Barb and I participated in the "cheetah encounter," which allowed us to spend some time petting Joseph, the cheetah. Apparently, Joseph has starred in some film with Patrick Swayze. I thought he looked familiar.  On Monday we drove to Hermanus, where we'll be spending a few days. The photo above is from the cliff walk along the ocean. We have a free day today, which has been a much needed break. We've been walking around and eating all day. It's been very nice not to have a schedule. CommentsEmmy Creigh Tue, 28 Apr 2009 09:44:19 I loved the layout ... following "the best parts of their country" with a picture of bottles of wine! Thanks for the stunning landscapes and fun stories. Rachel C. Tue, 28 Apr 2009 12:31:30 That is a true bummer that you cannot bring back the wine. BOO!

Glad to hear you're getting a day off. Jessica and I went to the rock gym on Sunday, but it just isn't the same without you . . . have fun and see you soon!
