The 2009 Kids in Tow Tour

By 6000 | 6000 | July 1, 2009

The 2009 Kids in Tow Tour is almost upon us and I know that there is one burning question on your collective minds: How will it affect us, the reading public of 6000 miles…? It wouldn’t be right if, like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown, I didn’t put you out of your misery, [...]

Cape Town Aerial Panorama

And, although it’s lovely at the size you see above, you really must click here for the full 2576 x 1323 version. Now – why would you want to live anywhere else on earth? Really.
