Finally uploaded some photos






Here are two shots from the lion park, the little cub was eye-ing ike like he was a walking yummy dumpling. Those shoes btw are his favourite (bubbi, it is now tight on him, tomorrow I will try and get one size up in same design). He is quite the shoe fanatic and wants to change shoes several times a day.

Nate and Mickey mouse in Cape Town, loren is taking him to see barney in 2 weeks.

And the two of them enjoying some watermelon on a hot summer day with the usual scavengers surrounding them.

So, Nomsa's family has had a series of tragedies, her cousin's wife died in a car crash, when they finally told the 7 year old son that his mom is gone, he mysteriously dies last week and after the funeral of the 7 year old, his 15 year old brother and Aunt who were taking care of them also die (yesterday)! is this from shock? grief? both kids and the aunt were not in the car.

I am reading Michener's "Covenant" about S. Africa, it is the really easy way to get some sense of history of this place and now I understand alot more of the relationship of the trading with Malacca and Java.
