Port Elizabeth, South Africa on June 1, 2002, 5:11 am

Just a pretty place to sit. Though it's hard to tell from the picture, it's actually on top of a bridge about 15' above the beach. Just after taking this picture, I was down on the beach stalking a seagull for another picture. Suddenly I heard some people yelling "Hey!!" and waving at me. Thinking "Hm... this can't be good..", I suddenly realize it's two guys (actually a guy and a girl, the guy (Chris) from England and the girl (Bea?) from Belgium) that I met at a backpacker perhaps a week previous. It's funny how people happen to run into each other.

Have Fun in the Magic Company!

Look closely at the white sign below. Er... ok. I guess we *are* in Africa, but... still.

I thought these steps just looked so odd leading to nowhere. One might even be led to philosophize about South Africa as a whole, and how elements of the past have been washed away, both for better and for worse.
