It's fun to plan a vacation, it's exciting to leave on a trip, and it's great to return home again, which we have now done. Sam has texted that he is home safely to Seattle. Tom is in Stellenbosch.
I'll close with an image that summarizes the Cape Town portion of the trip - a beautiful family in a beautiful setting in extreme southern Africa between mountain and sea.
South Africa is a land of extremes. Extreme wealth in Cape Town and suburban Johannesburg, and extreme poverty in the townships. Extreme beauty and squalor. Extremely wild and also very western. Extreme soccer fever. And, everywhere, extremely nice people - warm, gracious, smiling and welcoming. Well worth a visit.
