We took this picture on our first leg to London...then our camera died. So, this is the only picture that I have from our 30+ hour commute. Asher was such a trooper. He did great on both red eyes and our day in London. Fortunately, the second flight was on British Airways and their seats lay flat and Asher was able to get some sleep.
I, on the other hand, have not had much quality sleep. Asher slept on me during both flights and then our first night in Cape Town. I'm sure that the entire experience was really overwhelming for him and I'm glad that we're finally in our apartment and allowing Asher time to get acclimated to his new surroundings. He's sleeping in his bedroom for the first time this evening...fingers crossed that he stays there all night.
The people are so wonderful here...very friendly and laid-back. We are really happy with our apartment as well. I'll post some pictures tomorrow. The area reminds me a lot of Key West, but with much cooler temperatures.
We've finally stocked the pantry with groceries from Woolworth's and Pick & Pay and had our first cooked meal (& a bottle of South African wine) this evening. It was really fun to see a lot of the foods that we enjoyed living in Paris in the supermarkets here. Also, just a funny incident while grocery shopping, we encountered a bunch of Japanese tourist who LOVED Asher! They were doing a great job entertaining him and several of them took pictures of Asher. It was very stereotypical, but very nice :)
Should be a really fun couple of months.
