The Welch family moved from Boca Raton, Florida to Brussels, Belgium on Oct 23, 2005 for a two year stint with James' company, Deloitte & Touche LLP. This hopefully will track the many journeys we hope to take while we're here and the little adventures along the way...

Oudtshoorn


At the Cango Ostrich Farm - feeding one of the big ones.

Yes, I rode the ostrich and they go fast. I also have a new appreciation for bull riders.

Getting a "neck massage" from the birds, again I was the only one to volunteer for this.

Saoirse is standing on two year old ostrich eggs. Each one can withstand 120 kg of weight on them. Saoirse is hardly close.

On the way to Oudtshoorn we finally saw baboons. Mind you there's signs everywhere warning you not to feed them or you can be fined, but we never saw them. These guys were just sunning themselves on the road.
