Jet Lag

Current time in South Africa= 1:24am on Thursday, December 31st

Current time in Chicago= 5:27pm on Wednesday, December 30th

...you can say I'm jet lagged alright. But after three days of travel the class and I have finally met our destination, helllllo CAPE TOWN. The beauty of this place hit me within the first few seconds of our drive from the airport into town through the mountains and later at the beach. This place is truly spectacular.

I'm addicted to all of the colors found throughout. The colors of the skin of the diverse people who live here [creme-auburn-ebony], the colors of their homes [chartreuse-sunshine-turquoise] and the colors of natural landscape [copper-lime-indigo]. How can a palette of such a wide spectrum exist while still creating a mesmerizing masterpiece?

Today also convinced me I'll be taking the ones I love here one day, they deserve this breathtaking view.
