Bloomington! CJ & Phil’s new address! They made the move after Phil got an exciting new job offer. And there are some nice prospects for CJ too. They’ve not been here long but already they’re getting settled into their new house and getting to know their new hometown. After a quick tour of the house they took us on a walking tour of downtown. We did a bit of shopping at JL Waters where we got a couple of niceties for the T@B kitchen and then on to Quaff On! for some excellent food (the best ribs this side of Memphis) and beer and a fun waitress who graced us with a selfie after taking a picture of the four of us at table. It’s fun visiting our kids in a vibrant and fun neighborhood!
Today’s safari adventure transported us out into the Dorob National Park to have up close encounters with little creatures that are well adapted to the extreme heat and lack of water in the Namib Desert.
With a UNESCO World Heritage Site, two national parks, dozens of museums, and hundreds of tours offered in the Cape Town area there is more than plenty to do. For our two day visit we opted to concentrate on African wildlife visiting the Aquila Private Game Reserve and the Boulders Beach Penguin Colony for a wonderful chance to these fabulous animals in their own habitat.
The Zulu make up a large portion of the South African population and have a culture all their own. Today we traveled from the Port of Durban on the east coast of Africa to the Valley of a Thousand Hills to learn a bit about their traditional lifestyle.
Hi CJ and Phil, of course Karen and Steve, too! You all look so wonderful. Best wishes and prayers as you start this new adventure!
