cape town

i made it. 22 hours or so on a plane, 80% sleeping... i had to make a mad dash to catch my connection in jo-burg, and krista and i made a small scene with our excited hellos, but i am beyond delighted to be here. already i have consumed a few anti-malarial g&t's danced to a ska band in a club where i thought the floor would collapse,awoken to church bells, visited the waterfront, a craft/flea market, walked through the gardens where the museums & parliament are (as well as a small aviary...), taken a mini-bus, gone to table mountain,was brutally stung by sand on a windy beach and enjoyed 'sundowners' at cape bay while watching the sun go down in the company of my dearest friend. i am beyond thrilled.
