Penguins and Baboons

We just departed South Africa last night after a full week of adventure.  Over the next few days I hope to post several blog entries to chronicle what we did.  On one day Sandy and I joined the ship's photographer, "Picture/Video Mike" and his family including their two daughters, Rachel and Riley. We rented a van and headed out to Boulder Beach to see the penguins:

 Then, onto the Cape of Good Hope we went. It is here where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Indian Ocean:

At the Cape of Good Hope park there were many baboons roaming around.  One has to lock the doors and keep the windows rolled up as they know how to open them both.  Rachel and Riley placed their hands on the back window and the baboons placed their paws on the other side of the window "on top" of the girls' hands; as the girls moved their hands around the window, the baboons followed with theirs.  Quite cute!
