Vuvuzelas anyone??

so i'm wondering how popular these crazy horns are back home?  do they sell them anywhere?  do people want them?  Please let me know if you would like me to bring you one back and i will see what i can do.  and annoying.  and fun. i do not recommend them for children.  although i do plan on having one in my classroom.


just like my amazing paragliding experience in brazil 5 years ago, Mother Nature has stepped between me and shark diving.  With paragliding there wasn't enough wind.  Now it's too windy to see the sharks.  Anything over a 3.5 meter swell is considered unsafe to take the boat out, with the cage moored to the side for optimal shark viewing.  the swells for the entire time i'm in hermanus are around 4.5 meters. ugh.  so please, don't ask me how the shark diving went.  if you do, there's no chance your getting a vuvuzela.  or even a keychain. 


I was hoping to watch the final with Gil, and old friend from college who now lives in Cape Town, but he just was invited by some millionaire to take a private jet to Joburg to watch the final at Soccer City in a skybox.  My sob story didn't work on him either, so i'll be in Cape Town with some new friends i've made.  not sure who to root for.  The dutch look great, and the locals are leaning their way.  the spanish are fun to watch, and i've actually been to their country.  i'll let you know who i rooted for after the game.  if the games to this point are any indication, i'll be rooting for the team that loses.

again, if you want a vuvuzela, write it in the comments on this blog entry.  if enough people want them, i'll draw names.

back home in just a few days.....
