NATALIE-CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA

Recently when Natalie came home after a 9 day journey to the ends of the earth and back...well almost to the end, we loaded some of the pictures that she had taken. Actually the trip was to Cape Town, South Africa with a stop in Dakar, Senegal. There were a lot of fun things to see and hear about, but I narrowed it down to a few that I thought were exceptionally interesting. She was with a senior crew that had been there numerous times before so they knew many interest knowledge of the area was very beneficial. Just in case you wondered just how far it actually is...from NYC that is...
Cape Point is the southern most tip...
...where the cool waters of the Atlantic and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean meet causing waves to "crash" perpendicular to the shore! They do roll into shore, but if you notice in both of these images, they also crest in a way that I had never seen before. Isn't God's creation just amazing?

The picture that she was most proud of, follows. A breaching whale!

Both of our girls have always been fascinated with penguins. Maybe because when they were little, when they would get tired, they would sit on the tops of our feet with their back resting against our legs like baby penguins do!Graycen Nudd will appreciate these next two...

Needless to say, this has been one of her favorite rotations. Lots to see and an outstanding crew to share it.
