We are staying with an extremely lovely older Jewish woman named Diana, who we think is about 80, but she won't confirm anything. I nannied Diana's grandchildren in Sydney last year, and am now in a house on the other side of the world filled with all of their photographs, which is quite funny. Diana's parents immigrated to Cape Town during the Holocaust and she's lived here all her life.. apart from a 2 years as a 20-something when she hitch-hiked all over Europe and taught Hebrew. She has been a wonderful resource, very gracious chauffeur to this beach and that museum, and even went out with us to the classy Stardust Lounge (the name says it all..) for St. Patrick's Day. We had to drag her out of the place when they closed at 11pm! Needless to say she's been a wonderful hostess.
Yesterday in the car:
Diana: Now girls, if you want, I can try and find you some men while you're here.
Andrea: Are they Jewish?
Ina: Are they under 60?
