Where’s the Beef?

Cows in the road are a frequent site here in Africa. It’s always funny when you have to drive through a herd of cattle and your vehicle is surrounded on all sides by the big beasts. On our way to Piet Retief last week, the road was blocked by an enormous herd of cows. The guy herding them told us there were 340 cows walking the road to another farm. We eventually drove right through the bunch of them, but we managed to take this picture first.


Beef – it’s what’s for dinner…

    It’s funny that you used the title “Where’s the Beef?” Remember that commercial and all your Dad’s continues reminding us of that line?

    Mrs. Santi needs to learn her authority! I laughed – cause I could “hear” her accent telling you about the devil being on the loose. Well, now, Mrs. van Rensburg…

    Certificate of Ending – can you imagine if we had certificates made up each time our visits ended?
