It has been a tough weekend with all the memories of 9/11. I was on my way back from South Africa, so I have also been thinking about my visits there. All the talk about 9/11 has unlocked some of the memories around the ones I usually have blocked.

On my second visit to South Africa we visited a Nature Reserve.

On my first visit we drove through a lake area and passed a traditional trading post.

South Africa is where Nando’s started so made sure I visited one during my last trip in June 2018. I first ate at a Nando’s in September 2001 during my first trip to South Africa.

A trip to the Carnivore restaurant was a highlight of my last trip. Think of a Brazilian churrascaria restaurant, but with some interesting game meats.

One more animal to close out these memories. Look how close this cheetah was to our car. What a beautiful animal.

Just a few memories.
