Rich attended (and presented) at the Society for Conservation Biology meeting, which this year was held in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, along the southeast coast of Africa. While he learned about wildlife and fire management, reintroductions.... Ian and I explored Port Elizabeth!It is winter in Port Elizabeth in July, and boy could we tell! We were in turtlenecks, fleece, and windbreakers for the whole trip. (Well, we did get down to short sleeves when the sun finally came out from behind clouds in the middle of our stay there).
We stayed at a great little B&B on the edge of town, a 15-minute walk from the beach, complete with a trampoline (much to Ian's delight)!!! We spent a full afternoon at the beach making a great sandcastle, playing frisbee, and having a picnic lunch.
