In November 2008, I went to Cape Town to the AWID conference. But what I remember most is the afternoon we drove down the road by the ocean, with rain pelting down and the wind blowing madly. We stopped the car so I could take some photos. Here is one of my best — a red and white lighthouse surrounded by palm trees.
Meanwhile, here’s what it looked like out to sea at that moment.
Was I ever glad to be in a car!
