Picture This:

Hula hooping in Timidz Square
As we sail in four Circles
Off the West coast of Cape Town
As we are patiently waiting
For the strong winds to die,
Our time to dock in Victoria Wharf
And a day and half late
We Step off the Ship
In Cape Town, South Africa

Picture This:

A beautiful Port
Lying Under Table Mountain
Live Music
Tapas at Fork Cafe
The life of Long Street,
The State Street of Cape Town

Picture This:

An entirely full moon
On the roadside of Signal Hill
Overlooking the magnificent city,
The Mountains, and Great Atlantic
U2 performing in the stadium below
The live performance broadcasted on the radio
A breathtaking moment

Picture This:

A backdrop of gorgeous mountain ranges
Rows beyond rows of grapes
Fountains, rose gardens,
And a mountain lion grazing
A production tour of a famous winery
Filled with great and intuitive conversation
With former and brand new friends
You walk through a hand blown glass shop
Sipping sparkling, red, and white wines
Learning to taste the beauty of each
You frolic through the wine lands of South Africa

Picture This:

Set between mountains and wine lands
Of a South African daybreak
The smell of fresh cut grass
And a clean set of golf clubs
A perfect drive down the first fairway
With my Sand shot improving immensely as the round progresses
Sipping a delightful amber beer to celebrate
My welcoming to the SAS family
And beating Dean Dan
And Doctor Bill
By one single stroke
Stellenbosch Golf Club

Picture This:

Riding down giant dunes
On a sand board
Shredding the Gnar

Picture This:

An hour hike into the Cannon of the Kogelberg Mountains
The Cape Floristic Region
The only place in the world
That is home to an entire floral kingdom
Gorges nestled between mountains
Mountain Climbing up
Knowing there is no going back down the way you came
Yet no plan to what to do next
No time for Contemplation
Your stomach in your chest
Risk and determination
Lead to Triumph
And as you jump into the water fifteen meters below
It is worth it

Picture This:

A hike up Devil’s Peak at sunrise
With a new understanding the “devil” in its name
Calves burning
With each step of rock
But the view over Table Mountain
Sitting about the clouds
South Africa Conquered
