We left home base today for an overnight stay in Bredasdorp and Arniston. Bredasdorp is a sleepy agricultural town in the midst of a peaceful landscape of sheep farms and wheat fields. During the 2 1/2 hour drive we were on the lookout for baboons - at least one was spotted. The canola fields are in full bloom - lovely yellow flowers as far as the eye can see. Jane said it reminds her of the rolling green fields of New Zealand. There are large posters around the shops and library with a picture of Boston City Singers announcing our concert tonight. This made everyone very excited. Right now the kids are in a ship wreck museum and I scooted off to a computer store to see if I could connect. Yup! I don't have a singer blogger with me unfortunately.

Tonight we'll be staying in Arniston - a small seaside settlement in the Overberg region on the Cape South coast, close to Cape Agulhas, the southern-most tip of Africa. Tomorrow we'll walk along the beach and explore some caves after a visit to another primary school.
By the way, our tour guide "Leonard" is really great. He's taking good care of us and transferring his obvious love and pride of Cape Town to all of us. He was moved actually to tears when your children sang the African National Anthem and he explained to us how much that really meant to him.
