Whilst taking photos at the I Heart Market yesterday we bumped into Judd from Corner Café, twisted his rubber arm and took a few snaps of him and his little cutie pie, Riley.

Sihpromatum – I Grew My Boobs In China
Savannah Grace’s book Sihpromatum – I Grew My Boobs In China is currently on special on Amazon for $.99 and is well worth the money. It’s a great book and the first in an ongoing memoir series, but in order for me to be able to read book two she has to be able to publish it so it would be really grand if you would consider buying it. What’s R10 of your monthly budget anyway?
Please will you also consider either posting about the special on your blog, twitter, facebook or any other social media platform as well. Mucho gracias!
SIHPROMATUM” (Sip-row-may-tum) is a memoir series of one family’s four-year backpacking adventure around the world. The first installment, “I Grew my Boobs in China”, is the beginning of an intensely fascinating, sobering, and emotional memoir of Savannah’s introspective and innovative family adventure.
In 2005, 14-year-old Savannah Grace’s world is shattered when her mother unexpectedly announces that she and her family (mother, 45; brother, 25; sister, 17) would soon embark on an incredible, open-ended journey. When everything from her pets to the house she lived in is either sold, given away or put in storage, this naïve teenage girl runs headlong into the reality and hardships of a life on the road.
These pages do not describe a vacation to semi-exotic locales protected from the local culture by a veneer of private transportation, scheduled meals, and ritzy hotels. The family lives and travels as the local people do, a distinction that generates fascinating and unusual experiences rich in multicultural insights, as told from the perspective of a budding young author with a traveler’s eye for detail.
Built around a startling backdrop of over eighty countries (“I Grew my Boobs in China” relates the family’s adventures in China and Mongolia), this is a tale of feminine maturation – of Savannah’s metamorphosis from ingénue to woman-of-the-world. Nibbling roasted duck tongues in China and being stranded in Mongolia’s Gobi Desert are just two experiences that contribute to Savannah’s exploration of new cultures and to the process of adapting to the world around her.
Weekend in iPhone Photos
Ok so I’m cheating a bit as a few of these pics are from last weekend but most of them are from the last few days. What can I say about the Berg other than that it rained and rained and rained some more and I was thankful every day that I wasn’t at Splashy trying to keep mud out of my tent.
For some reason despite all the lovely long grass for them to chew on, most of the cows we encountered were either standing or sitting in the middle of the road. It made for some slightly hairy driving on some of the roads. I hope nobody hit the massive side of beef that was hanging around in the fast lane by Cato 1Stop on the N3. In any case I hope you all had a good weekend where ever you ended up. Don’t forget the I Heart Market next weekend.
