It is now official we are the worlds worst bloggers, but we have three months to redeem outsleves before we head home. We comfermed our tickets home this afternoon and are headed out November 5 at 9:30 pm (Jozi time) and arrive home November 6 late afternoon. With that said let's fill you in on the last few months.
For starters we just returned from a five week archeological digg in the Limpopo province. We stayed on the Venetia game resurve which is ownded by DeBeers and had the privledge of seeing African game on a daily basis. On the slightly less glamorous sid of things Chris worked and had class fifty hours a week while I organized the food and cooked for fifteen people. Needless to say we are thankful to be back in Joburg cooking for two with two sets of useful hands. There will be more details about our time in a later post.
Before the digg we had a marathon of guests and a great time seeing new parts of the county with them. Kevin, Chris's dad, was the first to arrive and we had a great time in the Southern Drakensburg and even went into Lesoto. Then Jimmy arrived for a quick trip inbetween jobs and we showed him around Johannesburg and the surrounds. Once Jimmy and Kevin headed home Lizabeth came over for two weeks. During her stay we loaded water and hit the open road ending up in Port Elizabeth (PE)--one of my favorite stops so far. We had planned to head up the coast to Jeffery's Bay, but decided that we wanted to stay a bit longer in PE. Finally, Patty, Scott, and Elizabeth came and we spent two wonderful weeks in the Pilanesburg game resurve and Cape Town. It was so nice to have a bit of home around for six weeks.
Well that is the update for now. I will work on loading some more pictures and writeing a few more detailed accounts.
Thanks for reading,
Mary
