Walt Whitman's poem "A Noiseless Patient Spider" is the inspiration for the title of this blog, which is an attempt to remain connected to the people who have been part of my life.

Day Seven and Eight
Christmas Day. We celebrated Christmas with Paul’s extended family at his parents’ home with an evening feast and climbed Noordhoek Peak during the day with Neville. This peak is south of the 12 apostles, kind of behind Table Mountain. From the peak, we got a great view of Hout Bay. Neville continued my education of the local flora called fynbos (fain boss), fine bush in English. My favorite so far is the pin cushion.
Day Eight: Paul played golf, so I did some window shopping with Jenny and Neville. Cape Town has many malls that remind me of home, and the pound to rand and dollar to rand ratio made shopping a joy.
