South Africa Continued...

I had to run yesterday in the middle of posting my blog because my dog, Shannon, was horribly ill with some virus that made her vomit for two days straight.  I know, fun!  I didn't want to take her in at first--not because I am mean but because I am poor.  So I decided to wait it out thinking that this 50 pound dog can only vomit so much.  Boy was I wrong!  In the middle of my posting I could no longer stand the retching and heaving and decided to quickly post and haul ass to the vet.  No worries, Shan is better now after $101 worth of pills and some peanut butter-flavored goo that is supposed to stop stomach "gurgling" (a technical term, I am sure).  The latter of which Shan thinks is a treat and does tricks incessantly so that I will give her more.  Anyway, just wanted to show you more pictures: 

Most people in Cape Town have an amazing 
fashion sense except for the man above
who is wearing a nasty speedo.  Luckily, 
unless you have hawk-like vision, you 
probably can't see it. 
Where I "summer".  That is a lie. 
Amanda, mom and Wylie
I don't know Jakob but I love that the
author says that "Jakob is domb."  Yeah, 
Jakob is the dumb one.  
My nephew Wylie.  Such a sweet boy.

Hey Everyone! So my brother emailed me and told me that the Afrikaans (sp?) word for stupid is "dom" so the picture that says that Jakob is domb makes a little bit more sense now--perhaps a combination of "dumb" and "dom" and you get "domb". I like it :-)

Girl your pictures are so gorgeous! I'm glad you had such a fun time. And I'm glad little Shannie is feeling better. I miss you!
