Day One: Cape Town (July 15, 2012)
We leave Seattle on July 14 after a wonderful breakfast with our housemate Teri and another friend, Riz, at one of our brunch haunts, Vios. (Vios shares the premises with a branch of Third Place Books where I buy many of my used books, most of them foreign-language. For this trip, I’ve purchased Après le Tremblement de Terre, the French version of Haruki Murakami’s After the Earthquake.). Our chauffeur to the airport is Tim Stelling, friend ...

Winding Down
With just two more days in Cape Town, it's really hard to believe that my time here is about to expire. The last time I returned home from Africa, I was completely ready to get home while this time I'm really indifferent. Yes, of course I am looking forward to seeing family and friends and going to my beach and eating my favorite foods at my favorite restaurants and driving my own vehicle again. But then what? What I'm ...
