parental visit

As Hans wrote in the previous post, we had a wonderful visit from my parents. It was such a blessing to have them here. We had 12 days for them to see our life and meet our friends here in Muizenberg, to travel around and see more of this beautiful country, and to fit in several nights of staying home and playing games by the fire. More than anything, we were just happy to be with them. Here are a few pictures from our adventures...
We visited the Southernmost tip of Africa.

My Dad and I are at the top of the lighthouse at Cape L'Agulhas.

Hans and I are at the marker where the Indian and Atlantic oceans meet.
We visited an ostrich farm in Outdshoorn.

These next pictures are from our safari on a game reserve a few hours outside of Cape Town. We saw zebra, wildebeest, rhino, elephant, giraffe, lion, cheetah, and cape buffalo to name a few:

These cape buffalo greeted us outside our room in the morning:
Here we are at the South-Westernmost tip of Africa at the Cape of Good Hope:

We are so thankful for this visit from my parents. It's been almost a year since we've seen family so we can't even tell you how much it meant to have them here with us. It was a wonderful way to cap off our first year in South Africa. Thank you Mom and Dad!
