This week has passed by a bit too quickly.Then you guys, I bet, are having quite a long week!

They have Rand here. I still don't know what its value is.

Hello! I have been having fun yesterday because I stayed home. When we got here I was thinking not of a town but of plains, and the big five (lions, rhinoceros, leopards, elephants and cape buffalos). When I saw the town I forgot I was in Africa. Well anyways we are here. The first place we went to was The World of Birds. They had all kinds of birds and animals there! Like: Owls, eagles, falcons, turtles, monkeys, penguins, parrots, and wallabys! Mom got a great picture of a cute squrrel monkey!Next we went to Table Mountain! It was as high as the clouds! We went to a shop up there, and we got mini three piece animal puzzles. I also forgot that we went to a aquarium with fish, sharks, and sea turtles. So a couple of days later Peter came. He comes from South Africa and is a friend of Dad's. It was his mother's 83rd birthday. And after that we went to another party. The other party was fun because there were two girls that played with us. Their names were Kelly and Lisa. Also the party had two dogs Max ( A big dog ) and Molly (little dog). They were so cute! Right after that it was my sister's party. That's alot of parties! She turned 12 but she says 3 because she's only had 3 real birthday parties.That is because her birthday is on leap day. (to get more details on Sophie's party go to her journal.)
