Liz & John in Africa - August 2004 » The Home Straight

P8260291 Windhoek, the capital of Namibia, is a living postcard from 1965. Unfortunately this photo doesn't really show what I mean by that.

P8270301 View of Cape Town from Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held for 25 years.

P8270294 The birthplace of freedom from Apartheid. Mandela et. al. worked in this quarry and used this cave as a sanctuary where they debated and planned the future.

P8270324 Looking stupid in South Africa

P8270322

P8270341 Liz fevorishly writes postcards from Cape Town (our plane leaves in 5 hours). If you didn't get one, you are far from alone!

P8300342 Visiting Liz's old apartment in Brussels.

P8300353 Beers in Belgium. Can you find the camera?
