the Force B(rooke) with you...

Long, long ago (25th of March, 2005), in a galaxy far, far away (Pescara, Abruzzo, Italy), this little chub chub unboarded her circular spaceship. Unknown initially to the inhabitants of the guardians of the property she crash landed on, this chub had the uncanny ability calm and manipulate any situation, with her persuasive and original personality. Her most powerful backup weapon... is secret and almost undetectable... the smile of irresistibility! This last ability is not to be taken lightly, when coupled with the batting of the her two seas of blue eyes that you will get lost in even with the most advanced GPRS navigational system, very little hope remains for your 'force' of will! May your 'force' be with you!

Anywho, it was a great birthday party, thanks for all you that attended, I'm sure you had fun :-) for all of you that missed it, there was go-carts, a laser maze, bicycle/tricycle race track, oh, lots of stuff... and lots of cake and ice-cream! A huge thanks to POP in canal walk/century city (Cape Town) for organizing it! Lastly, her prayer for her birthday was for a bicycle, and God answers prayer! Have a good one!

So if you want to check out the album of the photos, go ahead and click on the picture below this photo. enjoy....

To Hug an Ellie

Good thing these gentle giants are afraid of small things, these guys are absolutely massive! I always wondered about that since first watching Dumbo as a child, why would they be afraid of mice. I think that it is simply because they are very gentle and caring animals and are afraid to squish anything. They have poor eye-sight and operate and identify mainly through smell. They have poor digestive systems and therefore eat enormous quantities of food, a baby Ellie that they had rescued from Zimbabwe was drinking about a 100 liters of milk a day, the sanctuary said that it had practically gone bankrupt just from the expense.

If you want to jump ahead of my posts as i get to them, go ahead and click on this image that will take you to our vacation album, with a few pics, as i get around to writing articles about the different things we did I'll post them, so go ahead and knock yourself out - Click away!

Lunar Eclipse

 

Had to get up 4.30 AM to see this one, it was setting over the sea just as the sun was rising, it was absolutely the most fantastic way to start off a vacation (albeit a bit tiring.) Now if only i had a better zoom lens for my d40 I would have been able to frame the moon a bit better, but you get the gist.

I'll be randomly posting photos on the website over the next days on the different things we have done over the last couple of weeks. It's been an absolutely great and wonderful vacation, elephants, water parks, amazing scenic spots, Extreme Shark Diving, cable swinging over canyons and rivers, through jungles etc. you get the idea. Check back for the links to the photos. Have a good one and God Bless...

Taste... but do not enjoy...

"Ok Brookie... lick the cake! Yes, you are allowed to lick the cake, no... no one will be upset at you... CLICK" this photo impersonifies little Brooklyn Ariella, albeit with her 'class', reminds me of someone... hmmmm

The cake was good, though! In the end this post is about the photo, such expression, passion for food. Definitely the italian side of the family.

Ciao (cheers) and have a good one...

Hout Bay

So we went for this 'glass bottomed boat' ride, now that 'bought the cake' (I know...) as far as I'm concerned, for false advertizing, three small side windows that were half the time under water and the rest above. Not to mention that it was completely indifferent since the algae on the outside of the 'windows' was blocking any kind of view to the outside. Anywho.. still processing the photos.. will upload soon. Night ya'll, ciao ciao
