With Wings As Eagles: Craig P. Steffen's Blog

Will he prove his worth

2008 December 17 07:51

I just got back from teaching a one-week class in Cape Town, South Africa. Between preparing for the class, and the usual work stuff in October and November, and Thanksgiving, I haven't blogged here as much as I ought. That will change. My challenge to myself: at least two blog posts per day from now until January 1.

My report to my work colleagues about my trip to South Africa: it rained all the time, the people were mean, and it wasn't pretty at all. No need to subject anyone else to the experience; I'll be sure to go back next time to save you the the trouble and trauma.

Here are a few initial photos just pulled off the camera:

Me on top of the "Lion's Head", one of the mountains overlooking the city of Cape Town. This was taken Saturday December 13.

Sunset looking west from Lion's head.

(I would just like to state for the record that the hike up and then down the mountain left me fairly sore the next day.)

An earlier photo; the weekend before the class, my hosts took me out sight-seeing aroun the Cape Town area. This was taken at a vinyard. From left to right, this is Nick, myself, Jane and Andrew, who were among those doing the logistical work of hosting my stay. The other student, Drew, is taking this photo (and will appear here at some point).
