Cape Town Tour
... working dry docks and marinas. Susan was taken by one downtown gallery (African Portrait) we passed along the way that sold large giclee lithographs. We ferreted out a small downtown museum called District 6 that was a highlight of the day -- the story of how a residential inner-city area was demolished by the apartheid government between 1966-1982 that disposessed 60,000 folks.
