Our Trip

We just got back from Botswana. It is a country in the Southern part of Africa. We were there for Nicole's brother's wedding. His wife is from there. We had a great time and Noel cut three teeth while we were there. In case you are wondering there is NO malaria in Botswana. We also spent a few days in Cape Town at Thaala's dad's house. We enjoyed our time immensly.

We had a 15 hour layover in Spain, so we went out to tour Madrid. This is a Cathedral we happened upon.

We had another stop in Joberg (as the locals call it) for wedding fittings and a little modeling!

We tried on the clothes at Sephale's (Thaala's sister) house in Joberg. She lives in a gorgeous house!

This is one of the places we ate called Primi's. The food was excellent everywhere we ate.This is Grandma holding Noel in the place we stayed. The place we stayed was a golf resort in Gabarone. It was an extravagant place to stay and we loved it. Our place was called a Villa. It had 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths! They also provided a crib for Noel!

We went on a game drive and it got very cold. Noel is keeping her daddy warm! We had a great time and saw lots of animals. This place does not have carivores, but we saw a momma and baby rhino, elephants, wart hogs and many other animals.

The elephants came right up to the truck we were in. The elephants have trainers with them that lead them to the trucks.

On Sunday August 12th we met for a time of sharing. We were given traditional dress to wear for this occasion. This is my whole family dressed in the traditional dress after the time of sharing was complete

These are just a few pictures and few things we did. We will post more online soon. The total trip lasted 2 weeks, so we have alot to go through to put on the computer. If you want to hear more give us an email.
