A few snapshots around the area.

We ordered prime rib at the restuaurant on the beach overlooking the water. After about a half hour, they brought two little hibachis out to our table with the meat almost done. We could start on the outside while it still cooked. It had this yummy green lettuce on top.

TThe little ball with the orange curlies on top is our salad. We ordered one salad and one order of fries. It is made by laying very thin strips of cucumber cut the long way into a circle. The the lettuce, tomatoes, cheese etc is placed in the center and the strips are pulled up around it. The curly stuff on top is carrots. It was so delicious! We also had small baked sweet potatoes with this meal. It cost 110 rand which is pretty expensive here. But with the exchange rate, it came to about $16 each.

This is the beach in Hermanus - the whales were out there---they kept poking their heads and tails up, but it was so hard to be ready with the camera. They tell us in the winter they lay on top of the water and you can see them out there playing for hours. Now it is spring and they aren't so playful, or many of them have left.

Straight over by the mountains there is a little strip of sandy beach where we went too.

This little city nestled in the mountains kind of

reminded us of Pocatello. We are amazed at the
diverity of the land here. There are lots of tall
mountains as well as rolling hills. We saw lots of grapes growing
