We had a lovely day today - after getting some rest last night we ate a late breakfast and headed to
Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens to attempt to climb
Table Mountain (Cape Town's big landmark). Despite gale-force winds, we made at least halfway up the mountain before common sense took over and we decided on a more scenic hike. :-) Here are a few pictures from our day!
Kelsey, Jean, Anna, and Susanna
Our one glimpse of blue sky today!
Kelsey, Anna, Jean, Susanna, and John in front of the waterfall - which was actually at the highest we got up the mountain. :-)
Our view from the more lateral trail.
The girls enjoy the view.
After returning from our excellent hiking outing, we tuned in to the 11am Tenth webcast (of course, it was 5pm in South Africa). Can you name the onscreen person in the pulpit?!

Could it be Marion Clark? George McFarland? Or Carroll Wynne? Oh, I know - it was Pat Canavan asking, "John - where in the world are you?!"
