Capetown with Lola, Uncle Rob, and the kids

What a wonderful experience spending over 2 weeks in Capetown, South Africa, and Imire near Harare, Zimbabwe with my brother, Rob, mom, and kids.

Top 5 highlights from the trip:

1. Getting ambushed by a pair of ostriches at Table Mountain

2. Hand feeding rhinos

3. Breakfast with the elephants

4. Playing card games with our new friends from England – Liz, Max, Henry, Samuel, and George. And a hair raising session of cambio between Bryson and Samuel that lasted late into the night, with Bryson coming from behind and winning.

5. A tour of a township from Bantu, who shared inspiring messages about how his community is working to uplift themselves

6. Lots of delicious meals including a cooking class with South African food and stuffing ourselves at noontime tea at the Nelson Hotel
