Durban, South Africa!

So for the Father's Day long weekend, Jeff wanted to go to Durban where it's WARM!

"Durbs" is on the Indian Ocean and wow, is it beautiful!!

Jeff and the kids even saw dolphins playing!  We stayed at a fun B&B called The Boathouse which was right on the beach.

Michele and Kate were treated to a pedicure!

We had dinner on a retired ship that used to deliver mosquito netting along the Mozambiquan Coast.  Jeff  had traditional Mozambiquan beef prepared with a friend egg on top.

And Jeff and John were both able to handle the HOT peri peri sauce.

Sunday, we went to church in the uMlazi Township W Ward (http://www.umlazi.co.za)

with our friends Nomthi and Ephraim (neighbors in Fourways Gardens, Joburg).

We visited the home where Ephraim grew up (4 rooms/20 people)

Then we had dinner with them at their apartment overlooking the Durban Harbor.

Monday, we went to Ushaka Marine World and enjoyed a day at the aquarium.  That evening, we hurried to King Shaka Airport just to find out our flight was delayed about 1.5 hours back to Joburg.  

So the kids were tired the next day at school, but we all agreed it was totally worth it!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO JEFF!  WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!
