You are making me so homesick! South Africa is one beautiful country and I am thrilled you are enjoying it so much. I spent all my childhood summers on South African beaches.Happy trails.

Whew! I was starting to worry! Good thing that Emma (your almost 8 year old) is there to keep you guys on track! Seriously though- it is so fun to read what is going on with you guys! Everything looks beautiful! I look forward to your next entry-H

London sounded tough, trust me I have had my fair share of setbacks while traveling...however never with a coupla extra kids with me.

Your Californian blogs didn' mention that I joined y'all in California for the first few days--the hike was so nice and lying around on the river beach super fun! Those photos are great :)

Miss you already, it was great to talk to you the other day!

Love, Annie

Reading all these to Igor and Sofia and living vicariously through you guys! Sounds wonderful- keep writing!!! What's up for Emma's b-day?

So happy to hear about your adventures. Good on you Emma for trying to get everyone to the airport. Great you were able to change your flight in London. Your place sounds so wonderful. How is the food? Do you cook? Your writing is wonderful. Our love to the children. We spent the day withy Annie and Ian. They are good. Love all of you and stay safe.

LOVE getting to see the pics!!! I hope you are having a great time! Hi Emma!!!!

Done like true Bockholts! I caught up on reading your blogs today, and I am cracking up:) It's an adventure right! Have a wonderful time, be safe, and keep us updated.

Miss you,

Hi Susan,

Gabriella was asking about Emma (wanted to invite her to her birthday party). Thanks for keeping us on your email list for updates. I'll be sure to show the kids. What an adventure! Have fun and enjoy the experience.

Hey Bockholts- I ditto Heather's message. I've been thinking about you guys.  I can't wait to see some pictures!  Hope all is well and you guys are just relaxing and soaking it all in. Take care and post soon!
