Fall in Franshoek

Yes, for all of you soaking up the sun and starting off BBQ season in the U.S., it may sound weird to think about, but fall has definitely hit Cape Town. The nights are chilly and I have to turn on my space heater again, the occasional downpour of COLD winter rain has returned, the leaves are turning color and falling off, and the sweaters and jackets have reappeared. To celebrate the last weekend we would be together, the various young m2m fellows decided to spend the weekend in Franshoek. We could not have asked for a more beautiful fall weekend. The vineyards were especially stunning with the grape leaves turning color. And you could even see snow-capped peaks!
