The Travels and Adventures of the High Family
We are back in Luanda! I know I haven’t posted here since March! We took a 17-day trip to Victoria Falls, Sabi Sands and Mauritius and I didn’t want to blog during the trip. I wanted to enjoy it without feeling like I needed to recap every day. And some days were very long. Unfortunately,…
I am terrible at finishing up blog posts about our trips. If you look at the posts from our RV trip you’ll notice that there is no post about us actually getting home. My goal was to wrap up our trip to Cape Town… and boy, do I have a story. When we woke up…
Monday. Our last full day in Cape Town. We left the house around 9 am and headed to the wine country which is about one hour east of Cape Town. I was hesitant to head out to the vineyards on this trip because we had the kids and typically I wouldn’t bring my kids with…
Sunday was an easy day for us in Cape Town. We didn’t have plans to be anywhere at a specific time so we had a slow morning which was nice. We have to have a covid test to fly back to Luanda so once we were dressed we headed to a testing site we had…
We decided not to go to Table Mountain on Friday as it was too cloudy. We had designated Sunday as a day of shopping, but changed our plans and went ahead and did the shopping on Friday. We went to the VA Waterfront. I know it may sound ridiculous to go shopping while we are…
From the time we heard we were moving to Luanda people told us we will spend long weekends in Cape Town. It wasn’t a suggestion, but merely a statement. I didn’t really understand until we arrived in Luanda, but now we get it. Since things are so expensive in Luanda and, let’s be honest, some…
I know it’s been a while. In some ways it’s hard to recount your life when it becomes very normal and routine even if you are living in a foreign country. I’m grateful for the normalcy, but it doesn’t make for very exciting blog posts. To catch up I’ve listed bullet points below and included…
It’s hard to believe we have been in Angola for four weeks. Some days I feel like we have settled in to our new home and other days I am wondering when we will head “home” to our normal lives. We had a good week with a couple of not so great moments. We didn’t…
Week Three started off with our normal routine of school and tennis mixed with some pool time. On Tuesday, I mentioned to Jordan that I was “a little bored.” I love routine, but I’m not nearly as busy as I was in Houston with various obligations. I’m trying to enjoy the downtime, but I also…
I’ve been trying to decide how I’m going to recap our time here in Luanda. While I could probably write a daily blog I think it will be best if I commit to a weekly post. This isn’t like our RV trip in that our time here is only 7 weeks, so to to say…
