My last weekend in Pretoria was great! On Saturday, we had a picnic at the Sammy Marks museum/garden. For 170 rand (20 US) we got a picnic basket with a cooked chicken, potato salad, a bottle of wine, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, and picnic cushions. It was a great girl afternoon filled with laughter, discussions about men (it turns out South African women talk about men just as much as my girls back home...feels like home!) and a whole lotta sun! The picnic then turned into a South African sparkling wine gathering
with a pasta dinner in Pretoria suburbia. I'm definitely not starving here...I have decided that my timing is off...within this last weekend I have met some great people and there is no time to get to know them better. Sometimes that is the pitfall of being a free-spirited traveler; you
me
et people and naturally connect, then you must say goodbye.My roommates for the weekend Felix, Helen & Edwin (from left to right).
Thanks, guys!

Thanks to Helen and Edwin for taking you in for the weekend. Yes, so many wonderful prople out there. Too bad we can't say that about everyone on our planet.
