Missive #2 From Our Journey
All-
This will be a short one. Today we visited the wineries of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, the wineland of South Africa. (Nazarenes out there should substitute the words "grape juice" every time they read "wine".)
Angela drove around quite a bit, maintaining her grasp of left-handed driving. Oddly, the gearshift doesn't change polarity, but you operate it with the other hand. Jonathan lounged around and listened to Mars Hill Audio the whole way. And navigated, Angela points out.
We made it to five wineries, and tasted about 17 varieties and one Port, and had some great food. Also, we had a sampling of cheeses at one of the locations. This evening, we had dinner at the African Cafe (http://www.africacafe.co.za/) which was outstanding. They have a set menu (see the website) which includes a zillion little dishes of various things, including a very tasty Ostrich curry.
We've posted some of the photos from the last few days at:

Cheers.
