Back in Town

30 hours later and we're home. We left our hotel in Cape Town at 12pm on Thursday (5am here) and arrived back in West Chester yesterday at 11am. After getting settled and running errands, Christina and I fell asleep at 4pm yesterday and slept until 4am this morning. Suffice to say that our internal clocks are still a little screwy.

I'm going to take the next week or so to review the entire trip in detail. The account of the trip will be long and boring so I recommend coming back sometime next week when I resume my regular postings. However, if learning about the most beautiful place on earth interests you, please bear with me for a little bit. You will learn interesting facts such as: South Africans call traffic lights 'Robots.' In fact, ROBOT is printed on streets as you approach a traffic light. How weird. Also, there are three kinds of people in South Africa: Whites, Blacks, and Coloureds (their names, not mine). Coloureds are a mixed race and outnumber Blacks.

I'm not joking about Cape Town being the most beautiful place on earth. Most travel publications say that Cape Town, Vancouver, and Sydney rank as the three most scenic cities to see, but I can't imagine anything more spectacular than the 'Mother City.' Believe me, the 23-hour flight is well worth it. Best of all, Americans still don't travel there so you don't have to deal the with loud, fat, insensitive idiots that inhabit this dreary land of ours.
