South Africa Pages Posted ... Finally

At long last I've posted my South Africa pages.  They were ready a couple of days ago but the program I use is so old and antiquated ... and, apparently, flawed, that it kept undoing what I'd done.  No clue why but it's scared me off of the program:  I'm looking for new web design software.  But, I digress.

My South Africa pages are chock-full of photos and verbiage, as you'll see.  Here's the link to the main page:

Cape Agulhas: The Meeting of Great Oceans ... and Us

Today we drove to Cape Agulhas, where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet.  It was 2 1/2 hours each way, but the drive was nice and it was good experience.  The drive was enough for me, though:  I'm happy to stay out of the car for a day tomorrow.

Philip drove Monday, Tuesday, and yesterday, so today was my first try at the helm of the car, driving on the left side of the road.  It came a lot more natural than I imagined it would.  I felt very comfortable with that, even if the South African driving style takes some time to get used to.

Photos below are of the town at the Cape, the marker of the meeting of the oceans, and one of just the Indian Ocean and a boat bobbing in its waves:
