No words can convey what it felt like today standing 4000 feet above sea level at the southernmost tip of Africa. The picture - inadequate as it is - will have to suffice.
But as awestruck as I was by nearly every sight we saw today, the evening we just spent at an African restaurant in Cape Town called Gold could end up being even more memorable. As we sampled small plates featuring the cuisine of eleven different countries, our Road Scholar group was also treated to a vibrant musical feast. The drumming, the singing, and the expert marimba playing were augmented by acrobatic dancing, puppetry, and face painting. A peak experience.
Love the update!!! Sounds amazing!

DeleteKelly; Thanks for the comment and glad you like the new look.
DeleteWow. Think you should wear this every day!
ReplyDeleteAlison; In order to do that, I'd need to hire a face painter. Hmmm. Maybe I will.
DeleteLast year I planned a J&J program in South Africa and we had the 25-person group go to Gold for dinner. it is a 'must do' while in the Cape Town area. Also a Table Mountain tour. Glad you are having fun.
ReplyDeleteNot-so-anonymous; We took pics on the Table Mountain tour as well but the one I published from Cape Hope seemed more appropriate. As for our night at "Gold" - it was one I'll never forget. Thanks for the comment.
DeleteI too like the new look! LOL! Glad you are enjoying yourselves. We absolutely loved Cape Town!
