cape town chill

It is a Cape Town night all chill I am next to a heater writing an article about barcelona this is what I just wrote to a friend still living there:

Dear Heike,
I am back in South Africa and there is a chill in the air and I have an assignment for mon...it feels uncomfortably like Real Life! Also happy to see some lovely old friends and tread old haunts here but I miss Barcelona tangibly I am remembering little pieces all the time they stick to my hair and dreams a soft tune behind my eyelids a new context for my life what a thoroughly wonderful time was had.


I am trying not to moon for what is past that is in bad taste when you are in a place like Cape Town and when you know the people I do

And Barcelona left a sweet sweet taste unmoonworthy more celebratory.

The experience has made me think of the (unbearable)transience of everything how something can happen that is so wonderful and the only thing possible is to enjoy it succulently while it is there and then enjoy the next thing when it is not

photos and gifts and pieces of souveneir are so hollow but sometimes comforting I have a t-shirt that says barcelona 2007 made for me by my friends it hangs from my cupboard.

I was happy to see my flat in cape town it is lovely

thank you for everyone for reading my blog and being part of my travel community

lots and lots of love.
