Our Anniversary

 August 11th was our 44th anniversary so we took a couple of half days to celebrate.  This was at LaMercy Beach just north of Durban.  There were some pretty, but little, seashells along the high tide mark.  It was a windy salt spray day.

 We also went to Shaka Marine World on the beach front in Durban.  It is a water park on one side and an Aquarium with Dolphin/Seal shows on the other.  The wrecked ship in the background is actually the aquarium and you go down into the bottom for the viewing tanks.  It is really pretty nice and they have some great displays of big sharks-see the video clip.  Remember that before they installled shark nets along the major beaches, Durban had the highest incidences of shark attacks in the world.

Out on a pier at sunset.  We were going to eat there but have been advised that the beachfront in downtown Durban is not the safest place to be after dark so we drove to Hillcrest (near Pinetown) for dinner.

Lest you think all that we do is play, here is where we spend much of our time when not traveling.  We just got a computer hookup that allows us both to use the PEF Website and Internet at the same time.  So Sister Gunderson is hard at it.  Anytime we speak to a PEF Student, we are to record it on the PEF record for that student.  We had to trade back and forth previously.  This new connection is DSL but kind of slow.  

Because the grandchildren liked it so much, here is another clip of a monkey.  This one is much braver than most others who just vanish if you stop the car.
