Day Six: Mosaic Sanctuary It´s kind of funny how the accommodations I liked the best so far were where I felt the sickest. I haven´t really felt fatigue from my treatment on this trip, which is good, although Jon and I have taken our fair share of naps in Pepe´s car. However, I…
Day Five: Our First Real Spotting of Wild Animals So those of you who follow the blog are probably asking yourself, “I thought she said they were going on a safari. Where are all the pictures of animals?” Well, friends- they start now. See, Jon and I wanted our typical safari experience to be at…
Day Four: The Cape Winelands Sadly, the next day we had to leave Cape Town. I could have stayed another week and still wanted to stay longer. There is so much to do there and the landscape is so beautiful. There was also a lot of shopping to do that we never got around to.…

New blog entry about my visit home and going back to work
