My Trip to Cape Town

A few months ago, I spent 9 days in Cape Town, South Africa visiting my friend and former roommate Derrick Lovick. He and his wife Rashidah were spending a year there working with student leaders of Christian fellowship groups at two different universities.

We toured the wine country, had some traditional meals, saw one of the several shanty towns outside Cape Town, hiked Table Mountain with a group of students, and visited Robben Island, home to the former maximum security prison used during the Apartheid era for political prisoners, including Nelson Mandela.
