happy honeymoon to adam and lindsey

We were honored to have Adam and Lindsey spend a few days of their honeymoon with us in Cape Town and we tried to make the place look as presentable as possible with minimal good weather.  Though, Cape Town can still impress in the rain.

Here are a few pictures from our day spent driving around Cape Point, which was probably the best-weather day.  We learned from Lindsey that the lighter colored ostriches are the females.   This tidbit of information has helped us out a lot with ostrich viewing--we saw a mother with her seven chicks on our spring break trip.

Cheers to our happy honeymooners!!

This is the view from our lunch bench.

A troop of baboons that was frolicking around at high tide.

This is a sea-pool that holds water during low-tide, but allows new water to come in during high tide.  It is a really cool concept and allows for many easily-maintainable swimming pools to be built in the Cape Town area.  It is interesting that we haven't seen this concept used anywhere else.

Also note, Jim wins the contest of first to jump into the 55 degree ocean water.  

The fight was a draw.

Yet Jim claims victory.  The backdrop for our pool wrestling match was pretty amazing.

This is the picture that makes me think of Cape Point as stormy and forbidding.

More evidence of the storminess with Jennifer and Adam donning full hoods.

Here is the whole crew out at the point.
