Cape Town, Africa - day 2

Unlike yesterday's picture-perfect weather, today was cloudy gray skies. We didn't have an excursion booked, so the day was a day to do with exactly what we pleased. For me it was visiting with a friend over breakfast while Ronnie went to run and at noon enjoying lunch with him in the Dining Room. And tonight having dinner with friends. Are you seeing a theme? So are the scales!! :-(  Oh, and this afternoon it was reading and a nap.

Since I didn't get out to take any more photos, I'll share some more from  yesterday. The harbor area of South Africa is colorful and whimsical! Browsing through a few shops provided ample photo ops that clearly say "South Africa".

I forgot to mention that the weather has turned chilly. After sweating for months now, out come the jackets! However, it will begin to warm again as we head back toward the equator. By the way, the reason I featured the winter coffee drinks is because winter in Cape Town is June - August.

  1. Barbara: Vibrant, energetic photos....beautiful murals and sunset and that Wart hog! I'm afraid I would have spent all day buying baskets! And I can smell the chocolate..... I feel your pain about weight. Age slows the metabolism, and being short is not helpful either. But you are feeling better and eating keeps you healthy! You'll be home in the kitchen soon, and you'll control it better!
