Our First Visitors

Crocodile Farm

We were absolutely delighted to have Dan’s youngest brother and his wife come to visit us in South Africa! Stephen & Kelli left Kodiak, Alaska, and literally traveled halfway around the world to come and see us. What a treat that was! Our week together was full of laughter and many adventures. I’m going to blog our sightseeing trips separately because otherwise it might be picture overload. These pics share our visit to the Crocodile Farm. We were really interested in watching the “feeding time” which is only on weekends so the last 3 pictures in this group may be a bit much for some of you but hey – at least I didn’t include the video!

We also wanted to share what it is like to go to church here. We have visited 2 very nice churches and they remind us of the U.S. The preaching is excellent and the songs are familiar. The only difference is watching everyone sit with their winter coats on during the whole service. We’ve noticed if we move around more during worship we do stay a bit warmer! And there is something here about “fresh air.” No matter what the temperature people want to have windows open so there is plenty of “fresh air.” We noticed they were open in the sanctuary and often people will open the windows in their bathrooms as well. Brrrr! I’m afraid we haven’t gotten that desperate for “fresh air” yet!
