Greetings from South Africa

It's HOT & it's COLD in South Africa... but at least there is Wifi!

I find myself in South Africa, compliments of the generous governing powers of Morocco.  The Moroccan Embassy and I are embarking on a relationship that will hopefully culminate in a work permit. In the mean time, DH (dear husband) and I keep our lives interesting by hopping between the two countries [not by choice], while handing off children to keep them in school.

The up side to this is that I was able to spend time with my mom and her lovely husband this weekend.  They live and work at a lodge squeezed between two mountains, in a forest (Serenity).  The river and waterfalls constantly flow.  The thatch-roofed luxury bungalows are built on stilts.  It feels like another planet!

Bridge to restaurant

On top of the mountain

Granny's backyard! (no kidding)

Glad this guy is immobile

Neighbor's giraffe - not particularly
good for 'walkies'

Rather skittish zebra

End to the day, with champagne in hand

Thanks, Mom & JC.
