South Africa Part Five: Eland's Bay and Beautiful Blossoms




Since the last update we have taken a few side trips. The first was to Eland's Bay (see video below)... lovely...with Paul, Lyn and Cam. It was an excellent adventure where we stumbled upon an amazing empty beach with shells. We also drove to a point and discovered some tide pools with wall to wall carpet of sea anemones with all colors in the rainbow. I've never seen hot pink sea anemones before!! We also spotted some seals.

We then went back to Rocklands for more climbing...booooorrrrrring. ;)

Then we went to Cape Town, again with Lyn, Paul and Cam and saw whales (one on land and some in water). Apparently a whale had beached itself and a huge procession of sea rescue peeps (Dad... "peeps" is Oakland slang for personnel, people, or homies, if you will) went by in numerous cars followed by the whale him/herself on a truck. The radio was talking about the event and how they were going to release the whale in the next town up...pobre cito(a). Then there were the penguins and the whales (in the ocean). It was a great day.

  1. Definitely more soothing than previous videos. Made me want to kick of my shoes at the office. Try and get someone (Justin?)to catch Ms. Becky in some action as well....by the way, so there's no confusion, this "Dad" has the last name Alarcon. :)

  2. Loved this video too. So pretty and soothing and I agree with the dad above & say that someone needs to get Ms. Becky in front of the camera. But - if things don't work out in the FNP program, there's a future as a filmmaker too..
