I took these photos at a house we went to for a braai (b-b-que). I realize it doesn't really do the concept justice but taking pictures from the light into the dark or vice versa is too tricky for my amateur skills.

Indoor Outdoor Living in SA
One of my most favorite things about South Africa is this concept of indoor/outdoor living spaces. Picture your living room opening onto another room that has 1-3 walls open to the outside. In this space you put real furniture - not deck furniture. You might have a living room space and a dining room space. Many people equip this space to serve them year-round, because on most days, even in winter, it is warm enough to enjoy a cup of coffee out there, and at night you can put a heater or two, and even drop down some bamboo mats to make it keep the warmth in.

It is bitter cold here. I am terribly envious. It just looks wonderful. I am still crawling around in my car with a non-living Christmas tree in the back seat. Holidays just aren't the same without you all.
