You Can't Get Lost in Cape Town

Mostly because there is this huge mountain which you can see from just about everywhere.

I took a red eye from JFK to Heathrow, spent a quiet Sunday in London enjoying the Queen's parks. I sat for a while in some striped green and white lawn chairs -- how civilized, I thought, to have lawn chairs in a public park. Except a man came by trying to make me pay for the seat. I got up.

That night I took another red eye to Cape Town and was greeted at the airport by Naomi and our car rental guy. Except I had somehow forgotten my drivers license in New York! I got my aunt to fax a copy of it, Shane told us not to get in any accidents, and we drove home. I slept.

When I woke up, I was driving up to Table Mountain.
