Ubuntu (ùbúntú): a South African ethic or ideology focusing on people's allegiances and relations with each other. Rough translation in English: "humanity towards others" .... "I am because we are." ... "The belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity." This is our journey to discover what the word truly means - to live it, experience it and then share it.

6 Month Anniversary

Time has flown since August 26th and during the weekend of February 26th we celebrated our 6 months anniversary with a much needed weekend away. We headed to the South Coast about 40 mins away to hang out at the beach and just relax. On our last day there we headed 10 kilometres off the coast to a famous reeef called Aliwol Shawls with a group of scuba divers and (since I'm not certified to dive and Jess is so patient) we snorkled. It was incredible! We saw sea turtles, rays, all kinds of fish and the highlight of it all was swimming with a pod of over 60 dolphins!!! We saw them coming and jumped into the water as they were passing our boat - it was awe inspiring to be in the water with them. Jess was even able to go down and swim a bit longer with them and see a mother giving birth! I mean seriously, who sees that! This is us after our snorkle... looking oh so pretty!
