Today we were picked up by a new guide Marilyn and taken to Franschhoek which is in the valley in the middle of the wine region. It took about an hour and a half to get out of the city and here. The b&b we are staying at is AMAZING!!! There are only 8 rooms with a lovely courtyard out back. when we arrived we made ourselves some tea and sat in the sun by the pool. We then took a stroll into town and picked up some sandwiches at the grocery store. We had planned to eat in the courtyard of the church down the street but apparently Sharon and I did it wrong and we in the courtyard of another building. It was still lovely. We then stopped to pick up a bottle of wine and sit in the courtyard of the hotel...and then it all went downhill! We started to talk about the double dream hands video on YOutube (if you have not seen it, run to search for it...a classic). Needless to say the afternoon has deteriorated with Moira and Sharon reenacting the dance..it was not pretty. I cried. We are planning a fancy dinner out where Cynthia will be our designated walker and hopefully there will be no double dream hands.
Update 9:49 PM: made it through dinner but now Sharon is doing it again and planning to practice for a more formal performance...there will be video.
OK - You got me to watch Double Dream Hands... and I can't stop laughing!
