I just love it when I receive photos with long stories about travel and people and how we are all connected!
This one from Judy Johnson of Canada:
We found your flower in Pretoria at the Union Buildings. We were there
as part of a group of 8 from Abbotsford, British Columbia in Canada just
starting our tour of Africa (South Africa, Botswana and Victoria Falls). It was
September 24th - Heritage Day. There were some craft vendors set up but it was
still quite quiet there. Some people there were dressed in their ethnic
dress. We talked to Jane and her family - then met her again later on in Church
Square. She recognized us and greeted us as if we were old friends!
Visiting Africa had been on our 'Bucket List' for many years. Our tour
guides were friends from here who had lived and worked in Africa for over 20
years. It was a marvelous way to see the countries - with people who love and
know Africa. We had a marvelous time. From Johannesburg and Pretoria we went
to Gabarone, Maun then on to safari at Pom Pom, Sango and Chobe. Our final days
as a group together were spent at Victoria Falls. Our group tour finished there
and my husband and I traveled back to South Africa and spent the last week in
Cape Town and area. We're still going through photos - amazed at all we saw and
did - and trying to narrow the photos down to a manageable number. (Think I've
given up on that - I'm keeping them all!)
Love the idea that you're connecting with people from all over. All the
best to you and your family and happy travels. (Have you been to Canada yet?)
No, Judy, I haven't. But it is on my 'bucket list' too.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful tour with us!
