This morning we traveled to a little university town about an hour outside of Cape Town called Stellenbosch so that Greg could visit another bio-control facility.  Stellenbosch is also wine country and we had the best scenery on our drive to town.

While Greg visited the facility, I drove around town and found myself completely lost and turned around...when you are used to driving on the opposite side of the street, getting lost becomes a smidge more difficult and stressful.  I found my way back to Greg by sheer dumb luck!

We visited Spier winery and had an incredible lunch: roasted chicken with parmesan sauce, veggie quiche, salad, bread, cheese platter and wine.  It was the largest meal splurge of the trip!

There was a local craft market set up at the winery.  An initiative called 'Moyo' that promotes arts and crafts among women in South Africa.  It was so neat to see their market and make comparisons to the market my friends and I held this last April.  They had a lot of the same ideas as us, including many items made from recycled materials...my girls (Tami, Annie and Jen) would have LOVED this!!!

We're off for America at 6pm and will be home by 6pm Tuesday night!  Thanks to everyone who followed our journey and sent us well wishes.  It meant so much to read your words while we were away from you!!!

Love...Love...Love...
