Cape Town,
South Africa - Part 6 
A South African Braai (barbecue)
with the Gazzards
A Braai is the South African
equivalent of a barbecue. The word is short for braaivleis (grill meat) and are
almost a way of life down here. A braai is usually much more than a burger
or pork chop thrown on the grill. We were told to expect lamb chops,
chicken, and boerewors (farmer's sausage), and the Gazzard's did not disappoint
- 2 varieties of chicken, scrumptuous pork chops and 3 different types of
sausage! Nick appeared with enough meat to feed an army (ok, there were 12
of us that descended on them), and almost all of it was consumed - the meat was
tender and tasty, and pretty much everyone was stuffed beyond belief. A
hearty thanks to Nick and Karen for their hospitality and this tremendous
afternoon of dining, wine and fun.

Swimming Fun
A beautiful pool in a gorgeous
setting, and hot weather to boot! Ok, the water was a bit chilly (it is
winter after all), but that didn't stop the kids - it just left them colder when
they finally got out :-)
Trampoline Fun
In addition to fine food and drink, a
wonderful pool and a gorgeous setting, the Gazzard's had a trampoline built into
their yard. It was at ground level, built into a pit that's dug out
underneath it. It's actually a tremendous idea. More importantly, it
was fun for everyone. Including some of the bigger "kids."
