Catherine and Danielle were involved in a minor car accident today. They were rear-ended by another motorsit when they were stopped in traffic near Belleville. Thankfully, there were no injuries, and everyone is fine.

Our rental car sustained a bit of damage to its rear bumper; the other car suffered more damage to its front grille. We now face the prospect of filing police reports, getting another rental car, and dealing with insurance claims. That can wait for tomorrow.

They were driving home from Hout Bay where they visited the Clay Cafe, a unique and creative place to do pottery. Catherine made a Snoopy and a cup, which need to be picked up in a couple weeks.

While there, Catherine met a friend (below) and made a plan to visit the Two Oceans Aquarium together in a few weeks.

For dinner, we enjoyed a braai with friends Wikus, Heidi, Louis, and Amanda. It was a lovely opportunity to catch up with old friends.
