Ah, the Splendor


The topography of this city is some of the most amazing I've ever seen. Cape Town is obviously named because it is the southern-most "cape" of Africa, at the top of the Cape Peninsula. The Peninsula is defined by Table Mountain, an amazing blast of rock, visible from nearly every part of the Peninsula, with a beautiful, simple silhouette. The mountain is visible from our living room, but amazingly huge from either street perpendicular to ours. Tonight we saw what people call the "Table Mountain Table Cloth," where fog covers the mountain but barely creeps over the edges. Tomorrow we are going to the top.
