A few weeks ago Mike and I, and some of the volunteers, took a little road trip to Sutherland South Africa. This is supposed to be the coldest place in South Africa because of the altitude. This, however, was not the main reason for us going. We went so we could say we saw the 2nd largest telescope in the world. Unfortunately, we still can’t say we have seen it because they use it in the evening hours for research. We opted to view the stars through a couple of very high powered telescopes and one of our highlights was seeing Saturn, not the car To see the big telescope we had to wait until mid day the next day and we didn’t really have the time or finances to do both. We really enjoyed our time and had such an encounter with God. When we arrived to do the tour, we could see the clouds were rolling in and the tour guide told us that she wasn’t sure we would have time to see everything. It was so amazing it was if the sky stood still and the clouds stopped moving. We made it through the whole tour including taking the photo of Saturn through the telescope. We returned to our cars, drove down the hill and stopped for another look. Within 5 to 10 minutes the clouds rolled in and the sky was covered for the remainder of the evening. God really showed off for us big time!
The other photo is the sunrise looking out of our front window. It was so beautiful I just wanted to share it with you!
