Welcome to Cape Town

It took a while (over 33 hours, i believe) to get here, but I have finally arrived in Cape Town or Kaapstad, as its called in Afrikaans, South Africa's Mother City (the local nickname for it). I am falling asleep as I write this, so this is just a quick post to state my arrival, and there will be more to come (expect to hear about my friend and travel partner, Joe, and my day in Frankfurt, waiting out a long lay-over. We just wandered around downtown in the middle of gorgeous 70 degree weather with a breeze. Whats it doing in upstate NY? Rainy and miserable? Anyway, look for a discussion tomorrow night for today's events as well as tomorrow's activities, when hopefully I won't be preparing to pass out.

Cheers my chinas (pronounced chaw-nuhs....SA English for buddy, pal).
