A Beautiful Land


June 12, 2008
Recently I had travelled with some of my family to do something I have always longed for. We went on a safari and I enjoyed every minute of it, especially the one time I got too close to the elephants. Soon I will have some photos on our website for you to enjoy. However, as much as I delighted in tracking down the animals and had the thrill of seeing a leopard, an occurrence I hear is rare, I especially loved driving through some of the other beautiful parts of South Africa. Often, the beauty of Cape Town where I live, just takes my breath away but driving back from the Krueger National Park along the escarpment and through the Blyde River Canyon with a stop at the Kolgrade and BourkePotholes (gorges) was almost more magnificence than my limited senses can bear. Today there is much news about problems in South Africa and there are many, but this is a country blessed with so much natural loveliness. I certainly encourage you to visit.
