I,m Here!

God morning from beautiful Cape Town! The sun is shining on the ocean and kissing the mountains, all seen from the window of Wendy's apartment.
Boy was it an eventful trip including a full 5k run! The flight from DC was delayed after boarding for more than an hour. My layover in J'burg was scheduled for 21/2 hours. The plane was an hr and 1/2 late arriving. Immigration had to be cleared and baggage claimed before going through customs. By then, SAA was announcing that connecting passengers to Cape Town would be boarding a flight scheduled for 5:30. It was only a half hour later than the original so that was good. Wendy would not thave to sit a long time at the airport wondering where I was. But, I had to leave the international terminal and run (!) to the domestic terminal. Thank the Lord for a porter to pull my bags and take me directly to the right place! It was well worth the tip. Oh, did I mention we had to run! And this was after a long brisk walk from the plane to immigration, baggage claim, and customs at the opposite end of the terminal from the arrival gate!
Travel tip #1 Train for at least a 5K run before travel!
From there, it was a short 2 hr flight into Cape Town. Just after sunset, we dropped below the clouds to see the sity below. It was breathtaking. Table mountain stood out over the city lights. It really was beautiful!
Wendy is a gracious host and she has a wonderful apartment. I slept well and am ready to hit the road on a run. We will go to the center this morning and I will have achance to observe the class. Then we head out to purchase supplies. So hold onto your seats!
God is good all the time, but especially this morning in Cape Town!
Family, I love you!
