Lund boats have a great variety for all these applications.
The price is also reasonable.

Sawubona, grannym!

** Yebo, MT! This will be short and sweet today. Just wanted to make sure you also knew that if you double-click on any photo, you will get a large version – or maybe it was Teana that just found out about the mouse-overs? I'm too tired to look tonight. Take care and enjoy the cool weather. I could do with a bit of that right now.
Planniing to start the Durban experience with a decadent day at the spa and get the dust rinsed and pounded out of my pores . Bloody elephant is back – Bye, now!! ***

Well, you sound like a happy camper today after the shopping expedition. Nothing like a good snoop-around to perk up the spirits. Good that you had your friend as a guide in this thrilling sojourn into town. Your description of the loosely-named taxi was right on. Could have only been better if live poultry or swine were involved. Yes, the cost for the working people is heavy – and some of the drivers unscrupulous – they up the fares regularly – and the riders can't complain because they are stuck with no alternative. When I first started going to S.A. there were many proper local buses, but they were phased out and independent taxi drivers (and taxi wars) took over. No N. American can truly appreciate the African scene without experiencing it, yet so many are ready to tell (from afar) the locals how to run their lives and government. Again, I'd like to drop all those people who complain about what they don't have here into KZN for just a week or so – then hear their stories (if they survive to tell them). But enough of the rant …

Glad you could use the article re literacy. By now you are realizing that our idea of being fully literate and what you are experiencing are two completely different things. Hope you are taking pride in what you have accomplished in the classroom and in the computer tutoring. Sounds like the two girls are doing well at the keyboard. As to the third – no one knows what stresses she has that prevent her from advancing. You will be recognizing that there are sooooooo many stresses there that we never even think about here at home.

Your pictures are great! Hope that you will put a lot of them on this blog when you get to better equipment. Would so enjoy seeing more.

Hope you have got your ride to Durban organized by now. Have you considered asking at the hospital in town? Surely they have staff that must travel back and forth regularly. I expect your trip would be via Josini. I remember that place well – had a similar shopping experience as the one you had today – trapped in a wholesalers ( Boxer Store?) with the music blaring at painful level – unforgettable. Made me want to toyi-toyi right there on the street!

Just thought of something else interesting to do in Durban. At one time the Natal Sharks' Board allowed people in to see a shark autopsy. Every day their ski-boats would go out to check the nets off the Durban beaches, and they would drive a open truck full of sharks that had been tangled in the nets up to the research station near La Lucia (not St. Lucia – this place is about a half-hour north up the coast from Durban). The sight of the poor dead sharks piled up on the truck scared the bejeezus out of the tourists heading for the beach, that's for sure. Anyway, the scientists would cut open the sharks to see what they had been eating, etc., etc., and the interested public could watch. I did so, with a Kleenex over my nose the whole time, and it was fascinating. However when I got home, my room-mate informed me we were having fish for supper – a little off-putting – but I survived. Would do it again in a minute.

Looking forward to knowing that you got to your hut safely after the elephant-near-the computer episode ……….. and to the next installment of the blog.

Good night from cool Ontario! Fall is defintiely in the air!! MT
