South Africa vacation

Unfortunately the states were a bit too far for me to come for Christmas this year, so instead I made arrangements to meet my great friend Constance from Denver in Cape Town, South Africa. It was an amazing trip (aside from some interestingly awful travel experiences from Uganda) that was so needed for me. We spent lots of time enjoying the beautifully diverse land there, hoping to see whales in the ocean (which we didn’t…just have to go back again!), and having a blast. Our friend Wayne joined us about a week in & we all took in the Cape Town sights and great seafood together.

For anyone looking for an amazing once in a lifetime kind of trip, this place is probably one of my favorite places ever to travel. It feels a bit like California with an African twist and has so much to do and see!
