Back in Brussels

Hi... Our South African trip is over, we've thoroughly enjoyed it and tremendously regret being back in the cold. Such is life... A few parting comments:

- We never found the little boy in the first picture of our blog. We never intended to look for him either since we weren't sure who he was. If he is the person we though he might be, we were told he had passed away, probably killed. Ironically someone predicted that this might be the case... Whether it is the boy from the picture, or not, is not to the point. What is, is the fact that had he still been alive today, he would have been younger than Marie and I. South Africa, for all its beauty, is unfair, more so than many parts of this world.

- On a slightly lighter note... Virginie mentionned that the "taking the piss" factor of the picture of me emerging from the water may have been lost on some of you... If so, I feel flattered and welcome your appreciation of my stunning looks...

Time to go... We hope to entertain you on our next blog... not too long from now.
Love, A + M
