A Sea Point pilgrimage
It's wonderful to be back.
One of the first places in Cape Town I made a point of visiting since getting here 1.5~ weeks ago was the coastal neighbourhood of Sea Point. In fact, I've been twice. Both times: the frisson of delighted familiarity sparking against awe. This is a stretch of Cape Town I've known since I was a child. Returning now, after a long time away, I'm not seeing it as a foreigner visiting for the time might. Still, my senses seem heightened, my appreciation amplified. I drink in the views, listen to the ocean's crash and splatter, inhale the cool salty breeze, dive into the pool – and my whole body goes, "Wow, wow, wow!"
