...in Cape Town. The first Cosmic Mouse Report came from a snow-covered Washington DC, when the "capital of the free world" came to a still stand because of the blizzard. As ironic as it might appear, a month later I am in Stellenbosch, close to Cape Town, also paralized--but this time by the heat. It is SCORCHING HOT! Today, offices were closed in the city due to the heat.
But it is beautiful! The mountains are breath-taking, the food is delicious and the pool is the most refreshing experience I have had in a long time!
The workshop itself is quite amazing. Some remarkable people fighting the good fight, mostly in African countries ranging from Nigeria to Zambia, to Tanzania and South Africa. When I see their passion and commitment to make health care available to poor and excluded communities, it makes me remember why I love this work.
That is enough of a reason.

My dear Cosmic Mouse,
My poor English may be not good enough to express how much I do enjoy your description on a world that has primarily come to my experience through the always tricky mirror of the literature and the cinema. We are creatures mainly art-crafted by progress, and the question whether this has been right and how much we have lost on this way is a very profound one.
Last saturday, Pepe and I went to the Coldplay concert. Of course I though about you when they sang "Yellow"
