Kids and foods and fun.

These girls were dancing to their mother's drum beat and sister was playing a rattle type instrument made of a plastic bottle and rocks (I think). They were making a little money from people who passed by. I did take a little video, but it isn't very good. We've seen a few people doing this dancing in all the little market places.


This is at Green Market Square which is a kind of flea market where the native people sell their wares. This tiny little one was under the tables when we went by the first time, but later we saw her "working" out in the walkway. She was too little to really be doing anything, but she was pretending to straighten the blankets. Her hair is in the cutest little kind of "knots" all over her head.



When I picked up a little drum and started playing it, she came right over and wanted to take it away from me. I think she wanted to show me how to do it. We played with it for a minute and then she decided that was too boring and found something else to do.

This man was at Green Market Square too. He was balancing this huge thing on his head ---it was made of fruit and toys and things. I don't know if he was selling things. He was just kind of like a clown dancing around with the kids and getting his picture taken.

Lots of people have asked how the food is here, so I thought I would show a couple of pictures we've taken. This is called "Bobotie" - it is kind of an upside down shepherd's pie. It was kind of like a rice on the bottom and then spicy curry meatloaf stuff in the middle, and then lots of cheese on the top. Elder Herbert was the only one willing to try something "scary" and it turned out pretty good. This was a pretty nice restaurant at Cape Point.

This is the salad they served with the Bobotie - pretty good, huh with those huge chunks of feta!
The salads here are usually the best - I had one made with avocado and shrimp and tomato and a little bit of lettuce. MMMMMMMMMMMMMM good. They do set a nice table and give wonderful service--even though they are always disappointed we only drink water.
