South Africa

My Aunt and Uncle from South Africa are finally in the United States (for the first time ever)! Well of course my dad's brother isn't "from" South Africa, he's from Holland but his wife is from South Africa and they moved to Capetown a few years ago. They live a few hours outside the city in a town that escapes me right now, but from the pictures it looks just beautiful. I'm so excited to see them next week, its been almost 7 years since our last trip to Holland and I know my dad was missing his family a lot. With all the health issues with my mom isn't been almost impossible to bring up the words "vacation". I hope this visit will stir the pot and get a return visit (from us) in the works. I could def. go for a trip to Holland or South Africa right about now. I'd love to show Phil Holland and all the wonderful things (and food) that I love about the country. I also think he would like to see our friend, Alex (who lives there) one day again too. But then on the other hand none of us (my family included) have ever been to South Africa so that would be a totally new adventure. For now I can only dream that 2008 will bring some major traveling and an excuse for me to buy a super nice digital SLR camera :)

Some images of South Africa, including Victoria Falls *not in south africa* but I would def. want to check that waterfall out!
