Bob and Susan Bird. Antananarivo, Madagascar; Johannesburg, South Africa Missions. Tuesday, October 30, 2012. Sister Bird is taking a stroll among the beautiful flower gardens around the Union building in Pretoria, the capitol of South Africa.

A Jacaranda lined side street. October 31, 2012 at 4:14 PM.

Bob and Susan Bird. Antananarivo, Madagascar; Johannesburg, South Africa Missions. Monday, January 16, 2012. One of the last things we expected to see in the wilds of Africa was a herd of wild horses. While driving near the small tourist town of Kaapsehoop we came upon this small herd of horses roaming along side the road. We found out that this is truly a wild herd and the only one anywhere in So. Africa. Another view at God's Window. Labels: Our South Africa Adventure. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
