Hi everyone,

We have had great sightseeing, great food, great weather, and at the same time we have received a wonderful historical perspective of South Africa and its struggle with Apartheid.  We have also come to appreciate the role that Nelson Mandela has played in this amazing transformation from the government system of segregation to what is now known as the "Rainbow Nation". 

It is the eve of our departure from Cape Town.  Next stop: Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.  Next blog, see our pics of Victoria Falls, Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, and our sunset cruise down the Zambezi River. 

Love to all,
Tom, Mary Kay, and the boys
