"It is here!" It's the line that we've been hearing all week long... You can definitely feel the excitement and sense the pride-vibe in this city - and it's evident in the flags on the cars and in the doorways, wrapped around the side mirrors of the cars, pasted across the news headlines and bellowing out of the many, many Vuvuzelas!
The fever has hit close to home too, as children from the Bonny Babies Daycare decorated their own SWC picture 'tickets'and baked (delicious) 'World Cup Cakes'today.
P-J has been away in Johannesburg since yesterday, preparing food for just a few - of the many - tourists that have set up camp in 'Soccer City'. We miss him terribly, but are excited that he is also a part of this historical time in our country. Upon arrival in Gauteng, he sent us this picture of the re-vamped taxis that are servicing the airports.

And Jorja's shown us that she can blow a Vuvuzela too!
But instead of heading straight to daycare today, I decided to introduce Jorja to the gym pool. It was such a pleasure to have a large, heated pool all to ourselves! Jorja thoroughly enjoyed the time in the water, splashing and kicking merrily.

The trip was requested quite last minute, and fortunately he was able to make the necessary arrangements in time. He stayed at our old 'home' in Auckland Park, with our 'Jo'burg folks', Chris and Tammy. When we lived in Jo'burg, they played a huge role in helping us settle in and be comfortable for our 7 month stay. I'm sorry that I didn't get to visit them with him but no doubt he had a good time catching up with them.
