I ended up going to South Africa, Botswana, Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Was 22 days in all and very intense to say the least.

Here are some of my favorite photos.

Chapmans Peak

Cape Hope

The 12 Apostles Mountain Range - Capetown, South Africa

Capetown below and in distance can see Robbin Island where political prisoners were kept during Apartheid

A Baboon Family stopped to give birth to a new member and caught mother and child. Can see the placenta hanging from mom and the wet head of newborn being cradled. Did not realize this until looking at pictures back home in Dallas.

On way to Cape Aguhla, spotted some sheep with beautiful backdrop

Inside a South African Township home. This photo was taken in the Langa Township.

Klein Matterhorn Viewing Platform in Switzerland

Landstuhl, Germany in background you can see Ramstein Air Force
