We finally did some serious climbing this morning. We had a laid back Friday evening with some wonderful roti from the Dehli Diner, rented the 2^nd installment of Cheaper by the Dozen. This morning we made contact with Hannah from St. John's and picked her up at a Backpackers on Long St (where the action is) and made our way up to the starting point of the trail. It was a well travelled trail with many people already up the mountain. The kids loved seeing the goal in sight rather than hiking with no apparent destination. Harry was a super trooper (not the movie) and climbed almost all the way by himself. We saw lizards along the way which was exciting as well. The view from the top was fantastic. We were almost as high as the Table Mountain cableway, but not quite. We hope to climb that one as well at some point but without the chitlins. Once we reached the summit we admired the view and I noticed a man with a Canadian Maple Leaf on it, so I decided to say hello. It just so happens that this man works at the Simon Fraser University and Hannah is applying to study there in the fall. So they talked a little while. We also met people from Zimbabwe, France and Germany. It was actually tougher going down then going up, since Harrison was on my back for the big climbs. But we managed and also some paragliders take off from the side of the mountain. After we got down, we went to Zarina's takeways for some fresh Samoosas and Koeksisters. These were apparently the best in all Cape Town due to their freshness. And the promised goodness did not disappoint. Each samoosa cost 2 Rand so we bought twenty to share (about $7.00). Rey I ate a bunch just for you.

Tomorrow we've been invited for a potluck after church. Katy will be reading scripture as well it is youth Sunday.

I'm trying to upload more pictures, but the connection is poor, keep checking.
