Cape Town with Aunt Helen

After 3 days in the wine country with Uncle David, we spent three incredible days near the beach in the Cape Town suburb of Camps Bay. We stayed a few blocks from Helen's adorable cottage on the beach in Bakhoven. Much to everyone who wasn't with there's chagrin, we lounged, drank wine, shopped and strolled around. We had great weather for the first 2 days; on the 3rd day a major gale kicked in, though we managed to brave the elements to pick shells and drink a toast on the beach to Jennifer, Michael, Nick and Chelsea -- all of whom were there in spirit. In fact, the full rainbow that appeared just after our sundowners above Helen's cottage was their way of letting us know they were around. We wrapped up our stay in Cape Town with the most amazing Turkish dinner at Helen and Nick's favorite spot -- Anatolis. It was a perfect wrap to the most incredible trip.
