Cape Town for a while

We spent a while in Cape Town. We attended two World Cup games and incidentally, we saw each of the final two teams, though we didn't know that then of course. The experience of being part of 63,000 people who were excited and who each had a vuvuzela was fun and also a little nerve-wracking sometimes. We carried our earplugs to the games so we could hear each other!

We climbed the large mountain in the city a couple times up various gullies and in various weather conditions.  This was a high-light. We enjoyed amazing views and lovely little spots along the way from hidden waterfalls, to places where the trail was right along the edge of the 2000 foot drop.

We traveled via the metro train down the cape to a small town that was home to a South African colony of penguins- bizarre little fellows. The train experiences was one way to rub shoulders with the locals and we enjoyed finding our way.

We couldn't say enough about the sweet Kenyan friends we met who helped us out in so many ways. We shared some meals with them and we were very blessed by their hospitality.

We've included a long string of pictures since they are worth a thousand words...
