I will show you some views from our balcany of our flat. The view across the park is very nice toward the dunes and the Indian Ocean. The path along the edge of the park has venders selling a range of items from homemade leather shoes, plastic shoes, bags of various sorts, African carvings on walking sticks and animals, bead and metal work, jewelry, clothing, food, etc. It all shows up mid morning on Sundays and ends by 4:00 PM. We have gone there frequently some of us more frequently than others.If you walk further down the beach
, you get to some rocks, which are not particulary spectacular but adds a little splahing when the waves get up. By the wasy this was a calm day in P.E., which is a very windy city. I am in my office the wind is whistling through a space in the window frame and this is not as bad as it has been at other times.

The Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University's south campus is where we are located for classes and our office. It is an interesting campus which originally was Port Elizabeth University but it was consolidated with a technicon next door north campus), a campus in the down town area (2nd Ave.), one in the township (Vista) and two further down toward Cape Town in the city of George with two more campuses there. One does specialize more in the study of forestry work. The south campus has a large area set aside for wildlife and we will get a tour next week so I can report more after that tour. As you can see in the attached picture that next to this one building Weaver birds built nests. They are quite the feat of engineering but this is not their breeding season so no birds are in the area. 
The picture below shows the center of the campus as it steps down via terraces toward a dinner area who's roof is part of a large plaza in front of the library. There is a lot of vegetation, which surprises most students.

This is small path that goes between the International Education building and the library. Once day I saw a couple of monkeys in the bushes here but they are never around when I have the camera.I will send more pictures every so often. I have more of the campus but they are not on the computer at the moment.
