Dear Judy,

Sorry that I didn't email you earlier to tell you about  trip, but I've had  bunch of things to do since we got back. We had  fantastic time in  South Africa. Although this is  first time I've ever traveled to  foreign country, I feel confident saying that it's one of  most beautiful places on  planet.

We began  trip in  Cape Town as you suggested. It's such  beautiful city. And I'm so glad you recommended that we take  cable car up  Table Mountain. While we were taking in  spectacular views, we met  man who runs  lodge just outside  Kalahari National Park. He invited us to stay in  lodge for free, so we rented  car and slowly drove up  West Coast to  park and spent our time exploring  Kalahari Desert. What adventure!

Take care,

Diane
