Up till' now I have been to four African countries with the dreams to travel every square inch of this place, by foot, by car, by plane, by whatever will contribute to that dream being a reality.
Before launching myself into what will be the most exciting journey I could think of, I'd like to introduce to you my Country of South Africa. This is where Mandela and Apartheid arose from. This is where "Monster"star, Charlize Theron was born, this is what inspired the movie "Invictus" and this is where the world class engineering that saved those Chilean miners was designed.
There are many towns in this Country but I shall begin where my heart is and that is obviously my home.
Cape Town.
It is very much part of Africa but no... We do not have lions roaming around, I drive to school in a car and not on elephant back and we have food in abundance, we are not suffering from any kind of draught or poverty to the point where civil war is over breakfast. This is a reality in Africa, yes. But not in Cape Town.
The pictures below are four of my favorite places in Cape Town.
Table Mountain- The explanation is in the name. It is a very flat mountain in the middle of our city. God must have used a GREAT deal of sandpaper.
The sunset- That is the view from on my running route about 3km's from my house.
The forest- This was taken in Stellenbosch forest. An area rich with wine lands and moist exploring areas such as this forest. The makers of Twilight wished they knew about this place.
The Waterfront- This is the only active Waterfront and biggest harbour in South Africa. It was opened by Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Alfred.
I ask you to google Cape Town. Number one tourist destination in South Africa and this is where I am so blessed to live.
Welcome to Africa.
