... im Lemoenkloof, Paarl. Großes Hallali und Hallola mit Herrn Dr. Born, der endlich eintraf um der trauten Zweisamkeit einen entscheidenden Input zu geben: Gutes Essen, guter Wein. Kein schlechter Plan in den Winelands. Abends starteten wir unseren kulinarischen Aufenthalt hier im Bosmans. Analog zum Vorjahr. 9 Gang-Menü mit begleitender Weinreise In knappen 6 Stunden bis weit nach Mitternacht. Koste es was es wolle, und das tat es auch. Aber Ente gut, alles ...
On and on
... we een b-day braai, was gezellig. Daarna zijn we beland bij een black club! (andere dan vorige keer) Wow wat vet!

Despite a few minor crepe disasters, (it’s not as easy as it looks to flip those things!) everything was delicious and it was a lovely evening. (Although I need to stop staying out so late! Most of you probably know that I am nearly always in bed by 11, and here lately it has been closer to 2 or 3 a.m.!)

A day on the town
... comfortable going to stare at people in their homes, as if they are animals in a zoo. This was an issue that came up several times while on my service trip in the Dominican Republic, and I’ve come to realize just how profoundly that HOPE trip impacted my views about poverty, social justice, and service.
