    I'd make a quick getaway from there before some member asks about a Warthog full mask sporran...it's bound to happen...

    I am jealous, though...you seem to get to the most interesting places in the course of your duties.

    Hi, Barb, and welcome to our great country!
    Wish I could be up there on the Highveld.
    Incidentally, Bushveld is characterised by low trees. That grass you’re looking at is typical Highveld, especially since the frost has killed it! It will revive when the summer thunderstorms start up.
    I am sure my son would love to be at Cradle of Mankind, too, and to discuss whatever it is you are there for.
    Unfortunately he is further away from Gauteng than I am (he is in Cape Town), and having just come back from a four-day trip to Cameroon, he is headed for Equatorial Guinea next.
    Next time you come to South Africa, we must make a plan to meet up.
    Best regards,
    Mike

    Oops! Thanks for correcting me!

    I'd love that!
