One thing that I find nice about the Western Cape of South Africa is that it has a Mediterranean culture, probably because it has a similar climate. But what impresses me the most is the emphasis they put on outdoor activities, wine farms and safaris, hikes and nature walks, down-hilling and motocross, its nice to be in a country that appreciates the big outdoors.
The other Sunday we went to a wine farm named Speir, the wine wasn't exceptional, even when tasting some of their reserves, but wasn't bad either. The girls had a great time tho', we even found imitation prosciutto crudo and mozzarella, it worked for a picnic. The same day we were at another wine farm not too far named 'Mooiberg' or something like that, same there.
I can't wait for full summer to roll around, we have a swimming pool begging to be used, but the temp varies from 15-20 degrees so not real swimming weather but doesn't feel like winter either.
"This is Africa", or so they say. Anywho, here is a regular tow truck :) the photo below is in a PRIMARY SCHOOL! Only goes up to 6 years old. LOL. I am, however, recommending a book that I just read to everyone who has the smallest changes happening in their lives.
It's called, "Who Moved My Cheese" by Spencer Johnson. It takes roughly 15-20 minutes to read, and when you start out your thinking, "this is so stupid it's like a kids story about a mice in a maze trying to find cheese!", but by the end, you aren't thinking of the cheese and the mice, just your own life. It's great!! The only think i can compare it to is Jesus' parables for simplicity in getting across the deepest lessons. All i can say is check it out!
