I'm ignoring the huge file of photos still to be uploaded and posting some pics of our weekend away in Franschhoek. Beautiful setting? Check. Lovely cottage? Check. Good booze andfood? Check. Gorgeous people?Well, duh. Of course!
Paradise can be found just twenty minutes away from my house. How lucky am I?
My mom and I escaped to the country and spent a few days in majestic Jonkershoek valley. Not quite the Canadian Rockies but pretty darn close. Ok, no elk, bears or glacier fed lakes but the gorgeous mountains eased our pain a bit and reminded us that one needn't go off on excruciatingly long flights to experience a bit of awe and wonder.
