Cape of Good Hope

Well I guess its fitting that our last outing would be to the Cape of Good Hope. We walked, yep, the girls too, up to the lighthouse that stands as a beacon at the tip of the most southwestern point in Africa. Its actually not the most southern tip of the continent. - that's several miles to the east. So we climbed, and climbed and climbed. We had to rest just twice. The girls did an amazing job. We got to the lighthouse and were rewarded with a wonderful view and very high winds. And as kids are kids, the girls were still full of energy despite the 20 minute hike up a steep hill. We were high enough that we were in the clouds. We could see a very faint cloud just below us - so that was cool.
We took a few pictures, enjoyed the scenery and then headed down. This time we took the small train. Good thing cause it started to rain just a little bit. So we headed back to the car, and enjoyed the 90 minute ride home along the coast. It is such a beautiful country - mountains everywhere, blue water - a big change from the flatlands of Florida.
So we head out in less than a week and we're really looking forward to seeing our family. Things are going well thus far. Selling the car off tomorrow and then cleaning, cleaning, cleaning and all the little packing that's left. Please pray for a good flight with the girls. Our first leg will be about 21 hours. Then a short trip from NY. Nothing too much to report. We're all probably a bit tanner than most of you since its summer and we've enjoyed a few days at the beach. We've really enjoyed getting around. Kevin says I'll have to drive once we get back because he's really gotten use to the driving here. He can do it without thinking about it too much. It still seems a bit strange to me but not too strange.
Still no word about Kevin's job, but we're looking here and there and have a good running start on a few options once we're back. Please just pray for God's will. We know He is faithful and will not let us go hungry. He will provide - we just got to figure out what that is! LOL.
So have a good weekend - not too much will be happening on this side and we'll see you all real soon!
