Pat-third from right!
Pat laughed when I told him what my title would be for this entry, we all have to kiss a little ass at times! The fitness bug has hit our family (most of the family, that is) Pat, I am proud to say, completed a bike race that was 85 km-straight up hill! He went with a group from work, I am sure he would have loved to have Doc with him, they have been biking together for the last few months! Way to go Daddy-40 and going strong! And my sweet son, Taylor, completed his race in 24.2o minutes while running on the beach! That child amazes me with his ability to pace himself, and do so well in these adult beach races. He beat a fellow American Gm guy, sorry Troy, had to boast! Let's hope the bug sweeps the family up! It's hard not to want to get involved with the local sports, the running and riding is very popular here. There are local races almost every weekend, and then once a year there is the Iron Man!
Who would have thought there could be so many similarities! Looking back, while still in the states, my vision for this new world was so very different than what I have come to find! Port Elizabeth reminds me very much of Shreveport/Bossier, it is a small town and everyone knows most everyone! It has a very beachy feel to it, and much like the south, the people here are extremely friendly and very helpful! There are times when I almost forget that I am in South Africa. Sometimes the reality of this whole journey is so hard to grasp, who would have thought that I would be living here, and maybe/kind of/sort of "liking"it! There is a whole world here for us to discover and explore,, what a gift we have been given!
By the way, the camera has been found! Thank goodness, I have gotten a little obsessed with this blog thing. I know it bores most, but this is my way of preserving my memories!
