YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the food in SA - and
actually throughout Africa. Just different enough from anything
here. If you have a photo of some nicely grilled to perfection
Steenbok please share that as well!

I believe I have been to that exact place from where your photo
was taken - at least close. giraffe is also yummy, zebra, ostrich,
stuff we are not going to get where I live. Hell I can't even get a
decnt CLAM in Las Vegas.
Absolutely would love to do that one day. One day I hope I can
catch one of these major waves the "right way" to pay my way,
instead of kicking out of it or "going over the falls" as surfers
would say.
A lot of people who enjoy visiting the coastal areas in CA and
Hawaii, have raved about their visits to SA. That's saying quite a
lot! :)
Also, I extend the same invite to anyone visiting san
francisco.

I have been to Africa at least 10 times in the past few years.
There is IMHO no more beautiful city on the planet than Cape Town
South Africa. It combines the best features of the other beautiful
cities you have seen or read about - absolutely stunning. And for
anyone else out there...If you do nothing else in your life - you
MUST visit Africa at least once - and not just to Cape Town, or
just South Africa. You absolutely need to go experience the
wildlife, the people, the cultures, and sure, the cities, wine and
food too - don't die without getting there - at least once. And
children are especially taken with the experience especially if
they get to visit a local school.
I couldn't agree more about visiting Africa! My wife and I did
about 2 weeks of safari in Botswana last year. Incredible
experience -- truly something everyone should find a way to do at
least once in their life. It was our first time in Africa -- can't
wait to go back. Maybe we'll make it to Cape Town next time --
would love to see it. Ravun -- would be pleased to pay for a few
rounds at your favorite watering hole. Least I can do for those
great charts!
That's why I live here, but wouldn't mind a 40 ft yacht "parked"
in Pirates cove, carib for 3 months of the year...full trading/sat
on board of course.
big shipping container boat, and he has put up big sales on all
his boats to conserve on fuel. He said it works really well
going to china, not too well coming to the USA. I think its a great
idea to conserve fuel.....is this the longest week in history?

This will make u jealous, got given 40 crayfish the other day by my g/f's uncle. You can see half of them here in a "potjie" pot with calamari and some prawns, done in a fish masala powder, with onions and half a tonne of South Africa's finest white wine.
YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the food

Ravun... will this work for ya? i hear it's for sale in the $30M range, give or take a few million. :)
