As I was wandering around Cape Town, South Africa, a friend asked me, "Shouldn't you be taking pictures for your blog?"
"I need to wait to be inspired by a theme. I've taken some beautiful pictures."
"Can't beautiful Cape Town be the theme?"
Well yes, yes I think it can.
There's a reason why Cape Town is one of the World's top destinations.
The center of Cape Town is Table Mountain
But the 12 Apostles are right behind.
To the morning Misty Cliffs...
And the Cape of Good Hope.
It was a perfect winter day for a walk.
The windy Chapman's Peak Drive was stunning in the "magic hour" light
And Hout Bay disappeared into the distance.
The wineries weren't too bad either... More pinotage please!
But in all this beauty, it's important not to forget that South Africa is still struggling for peace. The poverty and racial lines are still part of every day life, but Nobel Square is a reminder of the four Nobel peace prize winners from South Africa who have made a difference: Albert Luthuli, Desmond Tutu, FW de Klerk, and Nelson Mandela.
From the early morning view from the Rhodes Memorial, we couldn't hide from the #RhodesMustFall that started only a year ago.
But I can't wait to visit again and see the progress that's been made. Don't worry, change is coming just now, now.
