On the back side

Sunday we arrived in Cape Town.  This is where we will spend three weeks working on getting all the paperwork done for her passport and visa requirements. The first few days here where pretty rough on Sarah.  She kept looking into the future to the 5 day period where I would be gone and our daughter Taylor would travel down here.  Letting fear take hold and losing much needed sleep. Wednesday was a a good day though.  She recieved a good nights sleep Tuesday and Wednesday night, and was smiling a lot more.👍. 

Monday we just drove around Gordon's Bay and Sommerset West, trying to get familiar with the area.  These are two suburbs about 40 miles out of Cape Town.  Our lodge is situated right by these two places.

Tuesday we visited Cape Town.  We had a medical appointment there to get some paperwork off to embassy for her visa.  We ended up spending the whole day there on the VA Waterfront.

Wednesday was another busy and fun day.  We started trying to find a hiking trail over a gorge, to try and see a waterfall.  We ended up driving way too far.  Once we realized that, we stopped to walk on this beach, and watch the waves crash in.

After this we turned around and found the road to drive up to the trail. As we were driving up the mountain to hike for 90 minutes up more of the mountain, it got a little scary for one of us.  So we turned around to find another trail to hike with this view.

To finish off the day we ate some of the fresh local seafood.  Hake(some kind of fish). Calamari(like an octopus). Prawns(like crayfish). Mussles(clam/oyster).  And of coarse chips(we call them French fries in America)

After lunch, we walked on the beach the rest of the afternoon, while we let Selah swim in the ocean.  It  was a little too cold for me to go swimming out too far.

Friday we will return Cape Town to visit the doctor one last time, and spend the day there again.  

So far everything is going as expected.  We pray that it continues with no snags so that everyone can return home sooner than later.

Thank you all for the support and prayers.

Rock on
