South Africa

Jotham crossed another item off his bucket list.

He's wanted to go to africa ever since I can remember, so he was  more than a little excited when he was asked to present at the South African National Convention for Chem-Dry.

Here he is repelling off of Table Mountain his first day. Its one of the longest commercial repels in the world.  You can see Cape Town in the background.

South Africa was so excited to have him, when it was time for the group picture they wouldn't let him put on his jacket, they wanted him to stick out.  Gave him a standing ovation and everything when the convention was over and just treated him royal.

After convention he drove to a game reserve a couple of hours away.  Just on the drive there he saw quite a bit of wildlife.  I guess monkey's can get to be quite a nuisance, sneaking into people's homes and making a mess, stealing candy from little girls etc.  But don't they look cute giving piggy backs to their young as they cross the street?

At Aquila Game reserve he saw lots of wildlife and most of the big five.

That night back at the resort, look how cute they made up the towel in his room.

and Jotham chuckled when he saw the label on this wine. 

The next morning he woke early and took a horseback ride through the brush.

Needless to say, he had a nice time, almost worth the 36 hours of travel it took to just to get there.
