3 Weeks to Go!

Yikes, time is flying now.  A little bit of miscellaneous shopping to do, and lots of organizing for optimal packing! 

Steve set up our wine country tour this week. "For much of the 20th century, the wine industry of South Africa received very little attention on the world stage. Its isolation was exacerbated by the boycotts of South African products in protest against the country's system of Apartheid. It was not till the late 1980s and 1990s when Apartheid was ended and the world's export market opened up that South African wines began to experience a renaissance." Cedric of Luhambro Tours will guide us through L’Avenir Vineyards, Tokara, and Vrede en Lust on Sunday, May 15.  Tokara is also an olive farm with more than 15 hectares devoted to the olive groves (1 hectare=approx. 2.5 acres).
