Africa - Cape Town

I had dinner last night with my friend Maureen who had been to South Africa last year when she and her husband went - he was the president of the Canadian Orthopedic Association.  I said to her - "You were right!" she looked at me sort of strange - I said: "You were right - all the animals in Africa - were simply incredible!" 

Here are some images of Cape Town - the first place we visited.

A View of Table Mountain - which you can see from most of Cape Town

An impressive statue - in the beautiful Victoria and Alfred Waterfront

Our Lady of the Flight into Egypt - Catholic Cathedral of Cape Town

An engraving depicting the original European Immigrants to South Africa

View of Cape Town from the top of Table Mountain
The stadium in the top left is from the World Cup in 2010
District 6 in Cape Town - there has been very little redevelopment

District Six  is the name of a former inner-city residential area in Cape Town, South Africa. Over 60,000 of its inhabitants were forcibly removed during the 1970s by the apartheid regime.

Peace
