My birthday and welcome back to Botswana

My delicious birthday cake and tea!

My welcome home! My neighbors kid, dressing up like a mother with a stuffed animal on his back instead of a baby.

And then my playing mother. I wonder who was more scared, me or the baby?

South African soccer

Cape Town's World Cup stadium, we went to see a "football" match there.

If the team had won, they would have won the league! Alas, they just tied. It was still great to be at a big sports event!

Joel and I at the game.

Our tour guide, a former political prisoner, telling us about sleeping on these mats at night.

Robben Island Prison.

Nelson Mandela's cell, where he spent 18 of his 27 years in prison.

Hiking Table Mountain in Cape Town

The view from the top of Table Mountain!

Taking in the sunset while sipping on a cocktail at the end of a long day of hiking. Heavenly, right?

Me at the top!

This peak is called Lion's Head. Apparently you can hike it at night when there is a full moon. Seems dangerous.
