I've been a tardy boy with this post, I apologize. Apart from a field trip with Katy's class on Thursday, a trip to Milnerton on Saturday morning to see the unique table view and play on the sand dunes, eat lunch in the Company's Garden downtown we haven't been too terribly adventurous. Katy's class along with the drivers/chaperones went to the Planetarium for the morning on Thursday. Sort of like Winnipeg the planetarium is inside the museum, in this case the South African Museum which in itself would be a good visit. Not to mention the gardens, the parliament and other museums are within walking distances. The kids loved it and also enjoyed eating their lunches in the gardens and feeding the squirrels and pigeons. On Friday, Katy had her pool party at her school, I think sponsored by a Christian organization since when we picked her up they were singing "camp" songs.

Saturday morning we drove north to Milnerton a coastal town to find a nature reserve and sand dunes. The kids loved to ski down the slopes and get full of sand in Harry's case. The view of the mountain from this side of the bay was majestic. Cheaper by the Dozen with Steve Martin was the highlight of Saturday evening.

We had church on Sunday AM and in the afternoon we swam in the pool and headed to Kirstenbosch for a concert of jazz guitar and faspa. We met Marian and Ricardo there.

This morning we headed to Stellenbosch the heart of wine country for Carla's interview at the hospice there. Every half kilometer there was another vineyard. So much wine and so little time.
