July 2013

We have been so blessed to have dear friends visit us this month!

In Kruger Park with the Judsons, we saw big animals

 And small animals

 Did 8 ziplines down a mountain near Hazyview

Saw for ourselves the "hazy" and the "view" at Blyde River Canyon 

Chowed on pancakes at Harrie's in Graskop

Hiked around Bourke's Luck Potholes

Toured a cultural village (alas, no footage of Michele Swazi-dancing)

Interacted with elephants

And had a fun dinner at Moyo after a long drive back to Johannesburg!

Then Jessica arrived and we went to the temple

Helped Kate's class learn how to make balloon dogs

 

 Enjoyed boerevors prepared especially by Kate and Jeff

 

 Toured John's school

Visited Bryanston Market

 Toured Soweto, Nelson Mandela's Home, and Apartheid Museum

And had the time of our lives at Notten's Bush Camp in the Sabi Sand Game Reserve

Another highlight was Jessica sharing her balloon magic with about 100 third graders at Diepsloot Combined School where I help teach English.  Check out the link below under the two entries titled "Balloon Fun!" ...It was SO FUN!
