Hello again from Cape Town! My week in South Africa is almost up I am sorry to say. I am with my mother staying in a guest house in town for the last night. I feel like I have gotten to see and do so many things this week, but am not ready to say goodbye to this port yet. Today I hiked around Table Mountain and visited Robben Island, where the political prisoners of apartheid were held for many years. Once I get back on the ship and have time to write about the week, I can share all the great details. Tomorrow morning I am going horseback riding on a beautiful white sand beach. It should be really fun. I had no idea that Cape Town was so diverse and beautiful. If you have never been, you really should try and visit some day. I just wanted to say another quick hello before I go and enjoy my last full night in Cape Town. We will be departing at 2300 hours tomorrow night. I have a lot of writing and reflection to do about all the things I have seen and learned about South Africa during the next stretch at sea. Until then...
Quote of the Day: "If you believe in something enough to die for it, every morning you have something to wake up to and live for." -Nelson Mandela (former Robben Island prisoner/S. Africa's first democratic president)
