Other cultures have always interested me. I like the way they stretch your mind, trying to see the world thru their eyes. One such fellow (Stephen) lives in Johannesburg, South Africa. We've been trading mail (off & on) for more than a year. He works in the film industry there (writes, shoots, edits, directs). Every so often, he'll drop a line and share what's happening in his (busy, exciting) life. Sometimes he'll even include photos, from his work or play .. in exotic places like Patagonia, Ushuaia or Drakensberg. Being in the film industry, his photos are always excellent. Anyway, he just sent a couple more pics, from a recent trip to Cape Town, taken from Table Mountain, near the (1,000-meter) summit (called Devil's Peak). Posted here:
• Cape Town, South Africa 01 (145-KB) ••• today's entry continues here ••• I feel like I know his country a little better, tho I've never been .. just as a foreigner might feel he knows Laguna Beach better, after reading some of my entries. I told him about a PBS (Frontline) special on Mandela. He said: "I met Mandela once in '97, shook his hand briefly. Larger than life character. Don't know where my country will be when he dies.
