Back in South Africa Again!

Here we are back in Dana Bay, and finally on the internet after a hell of a time trying to get connected. But in the meantime, we’re having a marvelous time with our friends, Marita, Noekie, Johan and Matty. My only bummer news is that the house I really, really wanted has sold — that just doesn’t seem right to me, after all, I looked at it all the time during the legislative session, dreamed of sitting on the balcony with a great South AFrican red wine, looking out to the blue, blue of the Indian ocean; I looked at it after the session, at home, it was still for sale and NOW IT’S NOT. Shit! I think I’m going to call the real estate company just to make sure, maybe knock on the door and ask why some stranger is living in my house.
The stupidest thing I’ve ever done when traveling has happened: I left my damn credit card at home! Can you believe it?!? Dumb squared! Luckily, we have a teriffic house/dog sitter and she is sending it to me. Her name is Galaxy Dancer, and Molly loves her — in fact, I’m sure Molly’s going to be really cranked when Laird comes home in June (I’m not coming home until end of July). We haven’t done much yet, still are suffering from jet lag, i think — I also forgot to pack the No Jet Lag and boy, can I feel the difference.
So we’ll write more as soon as we have an adventure — surely sometime soon! Oceanically yours, jm
