Last day in Cape Town

Our last day in Cape Town was as full as a day can be.

It started with a sensational meeting with the "Family Law Centre" and ended with an informative meeting with the Cape Law Society, the equivalent of our bar association. In between was a quick, but impressive visit to the top of Table Mountain.

The Family Law Centre is a group of lawyers and non-lawyers who are extending family law services to indigent parties on a "pay as you can" basis. There is a focus of assisting victims of domestic abuse. Not unlike the States, there is a tremendous need for services and the enthusiasm of this group energized and thrilled our entire delegation. No question about it: This was the best meeting of the entire trip.
Next, we snuck a quick trip up Table Mountain, were the view was simply spectacular.

Then, our final professional meeting with the Cape Law Society.



Tonight we had our farewell banquet and sad goodbyes. Some will be going on to Kruger National Park and some of us will be going home.

No blog tomorrow - travel day - but please look for a final wrapup blog when I'm back home.
