| Jumping man with spear, Sevilla Rock Trail, South Africa, May 2011. |
Last week my fiance and I spent a few days in the
Cederberg Mountains, a couple of hours drive north of Cape Town, South Africa. One day we drove from our cabin in Citrusdal to the town of Clanwilliam and then a little farther up the R364 to a little place called
"Traveller's Rest." After buying permits, obtaining a map and guidebook, and eating a tasty lunch (only 25 rand, just under $4 US at the current exchange rate) at the Khoisan Kitchen, we set out on a self-guided hike along the
Sevilla Rock Art Trail.

The trail is only 4km long, and the hiking is flat and easy. However, we spent an entire afternoon slowly walking along the trail and marveling at hundreds of rock art paintings. These paintings were made by the San people hundreds to thousands of years ago. In South Africa "San" is now the favored, politcally correct term used for the bushmen people.
