was a really good idea. It's always a dilemma to decide what to do
with valuables in hotels in Africa. While the vast majority of hotel
staff members are hard working, honest folks, theft from rooms is a
real problem. And, it's a real pain to decide what to do with things
like a camera, laptop, and other items when you go eat or to the pool/
beach or wherever.
Well, this is the solution offered by the Birchwood Hotel in
Johannesburg, South Africa -- they turned their walk-in closets into
safes. There is a steel gate with an electronic lock on each closet.
You key in your own 4-digit code, close the door, and kumbe, your
stuff is locked up. I wouldn't mind having a closet designed like this
in the house where we will live in Kenya when we move back overseas in
September.
I ran 4.65 miles in Jo'burg this morning in 38:31. Wow -- what a
difference running at 5500' -- who stole the oxygen?
Run well, y'all,
Bob

Thats a great pace at 5500 elevation!
That is what you meant right???
:-D Yeah, 38:31 mpm is a "great" pace. :-D I would have felt better except my knees would have been sore!
Actually, the pace really surprised me -- I figured it would be much closer to 8:45-9:00.
Custom closets...you might could work something out in Nairobbery! :) Pretty cool idea though!
