Aquatic tuxedos never go out of style

A couple of weekends ago I went to Boulders Beach and spent some time with the penguins. It was a little slice of magic.
One of us is not quite ready for a black tie affair.



The view from the boulders: a prelude to the storm.


And just as the sprinkles from the sky started to mingle with the sea spray I found myself, along with ambassadorial scholar Jon David and his friend Ansley at the southwestern most point in Africa.



Gratuitous Tourist Shot


And finally we took a gray and overcast drive skimming the precipice of Chapman's peak, as the gusts relentlessly blew.
