Stuart and Laura live in the UK but were also in Cape Town for the holiday and invited us to go to a game park. We drove east through landscape that reminded me at times of eastern Wyoming, northern Oklahoma and northwestern Utah. Four hours later, we arrived at our destination, a beautifully decorated/designed resort with animal skins on the walls, a swimming pool, and thatched chalets for us to sleep. That evening, we were driven around the park and saw elephants, rhinoceros, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, springbok, impala, and bontebok, which is my favorite. With night, came a dazzling display of stars, and I saw the Southern Cross for the first time. Orion is in the southern sky as well, an old friend.
