Lunch at a winery
This is our view for a late lunch in the winelands of the Western Cape of South Africa. Don’t you wish you were enjoying a glass of local wines with us? I think even my mom would want to be here – the restaurant is wonderful, the hotel looks first rate and the surroundings are nice and quiet and safe We chose this winery completely on a whim – we drove the 45min or so from Capetown southeast to the Stellenboch area, and then turned into the first big winery that looked like a nice spot for lunch.

Addo Elephant Park
We were previously at Addo Elephant Park and they have over 500 elephants but we only saw about 50 or 60 elephants.

But all from a safe distance from the car with our windows rolled up. Also met with some lovely South AFrican Girl Guides and their leaders last night, and are even being taken on a day tour today by one — Read the Rest…

Highlights from Sao Paulo
We are on our way to Sao Paulo (GRU) airport soon, but I didn’t want to leave without posting a few highlights of our time here. Meeting Ms Hansen’s brother and his wife. They are both charming, generous people who made our day lots of fun, despite the conditions (Lots of places on our itinerary were closed due to the May 1st holiday). We are sorry that we will not be home in Toronto when they visit this summer. Hopefully our paths will cross again. Drinking fresh milk, not UHT treated! This is the first time since NYC. Having decaf — Read the Rest…
