Cape Town, Day 1



We arrived in Cape Town at dawn on Sunday morning and watched the sun rise over the city.  Later in the day I took a city orientation tour and learned quite a bit about the history of the city and about apartheid.  On some days, the clouds dramatically roll over the top of Table Mountain in a phenomenon the locals call the "table cloth".  We saw the Parliament buildings and visited the cathedral from which Desmond Tutu led marches in defiance of the apartheid regime.
