Durban By Day and Night

Tasted spices at an Indian market today.

Walked barefoot through a mosque.

Shook hands with a black African selling live chickens.

Made friends with a cab driver who said I don't speak like an American.

Ate a Durban Bunny.

Dodged a car at an intersection.

Stood at another intersection when a motorcyclist ran a red light and got smashed by a car that kept driving - watched the motorcyclist get up and walk away.

Bought an apple for 1 cent.

Ate ice-cream under the sun.

Drank beers with a local over a game of chess.

Bargained over a wood-carved water buffalo.

Rode in the back of a truck through the city at night.

Listened to the wind rushing from the Indian Ocean past my hotel window.
