At least we have lots of open space to ride our bikes. I have that feeling every time I travel to places where "things just work". But every once in a while I am reminded that I tend to wear glasses that give me a limited view of my own world, despite thinking that I see it exactly like it is. Last week we had a young visitor from Spain and it was her first time to Cape Town (yes, I know it isn't the whole country). She is of Argintian and Colombian ancestry, grew up in both countries, studied in Sweden and Italy and lived in the Netherland sbefore moving to Spain, first to Madrid and now lives in Majorca. She was simply blown away by Cape Town and the winelands, the mountain, the food, the beaches, friendly people, the art galleries, weather, the waterfront, Kirstenbosch, Boulders, even Uber, shops. She did not quite expect lion and wild animals in the streets, but said she certainly did not anticipate such first world beauty. Yes, I know she visited while there were no power cuts, demonstrations and the weather was perfect, but it mademe look at my own surroundings again. Sometimes it is good to see through an outsiders eyes! splat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
