Food notes

Pleasant surprise:
1) Ostrich jerky (aka ostrich "biltong") is very good.

2) The sushi here is excellent. In fact, Cape Town has an incredible concentration of sushi restaurants-- it's pretty much the local cuisine. There's so much good food here I'm anticipating putting back the weight I lost in Egypt and Italy.

Disappointment:
Our first morning in Cape Town, sleep-deprived and jetlagged, I ordered a bloody mary and got a glass of steak sauce on the rocks. A few days later--at another establishment but still a little gun shy--I ordered one again. It was...better, I guess...but that's not saying much. I'm through with bloody marys for a while.
