I received a surprise email (ala facebook) from a childhood friend; we share a name.  She told me that Table Mountain is ablaze.  I went online and found this link with pictures. Wow – beautiful Table Mounntain and parts of the city in danger.  Take a look, Good luck down there!!     http://imod.co.za/2009/03/18/cape-town-fire-is-too-much-to-comprehend/
