Penguins...in Africa! Wohooo!!

Photobucket
While visiting Cape Town in South Africa, we drove the Cape of Good Hope,

Photobucket
to see PENGUINS!!!

Photobucket
They were so ridiculously adorable.


And graced us with some swimming!

Photobucket
The penguins come up to about your knees.

Photobucket
And live on this breathtakingly beautiful beach in Boulders, South Africa.


Don't you just want one?!!

Photobucket
I had never seen a penguin before.  Even in a zoo.

Photobucket
So cute!  And surreal, to be in Africa, looking at an animal that in my mind should be somewhere very cold.

Photobucket
Doesn't he look like a convict? Hehe.

Photobucket
This was my first view of a penguin. Ever.  For real.
Walking to the beach, we found this guy in the drain pipes, a bit confused...

Photobucket
The penguins picked a stunning place to make their home!
