Things I love about South Africa!

Beautiful Weather (Mostly 70 degrees year round)
Domestic Help/gardener
Fresh food that is not processed and not expensive (great Fresh Mango smoothies, unlimited avocados).
Great travel opportunities to the beach, mountains, game reserves, waterfalls, etc.
Wonderful sound proof home with lots of space, satilite TV with surround sound and guest room.
Friendly local people
Great church and bible studies
Lots of shopping
Great coffee shops, at every corner (no need for Starbucks here).
Outdoor barbecue, built-in to house, outdoors in backyard
Backyard pool, pond, plants, etc.
Great neighborhood with many large ponds/lakes.
Wonderful Bernina sewing store
Lots of fresh bread and cheese
Gas that is not too overpriced for cars.
Slow paced lifestyle.
Great school for kids with a bus that picks them up and drops them off at our front door.
Wonderful outdoor markets and lots of fountains.
More free time to pursue interests (not for Stan, who is working way too hard).
More time to study God's word.
Lots of organized Fun runs, bike rides, etc.
Movie theaters only a month behind U.S. releases.
Beautiful views whereever you go.

I am thank-ful for it all!!!
