SOUTH AFRICA: CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, SEAL ISLAND

Cape Town is a beautiful city, although the residual signs of apartheid are still apparent, and glaringly so.  The city is subdivided into districts from the days of moving the indigenous black Africans to areas in which they were completely segregated, both economically, socially, and politically, from the white Afrikaans.  Many of the more affluent homes are surrounded by towering barbed wire and electrified fences.  

 This morning we took a drive down the Atlantic coast to the Cape of Good Hope.  This coastal land is some of the most beautiful that I'd ever seen with towering rocky slopes that seemed to come right out of the ocean.  These are some of the photos of the drive and the cape.
