A Week in Cape Town

Monday: class in the morning, lunch at one of the only Mexican restaurants in Africa, afternoon souvenir shopping at the Green Market Square in downtown Cape Town, train ride back to BI

Tuesday: tour of the peninsula, Cape Point (the southernmost tip of the African continent), visit to Boulder's Beach (the home of a colony of 3,000 penguins!), almost got finger bit off by a penguin protecting its mate's eggs, evening visit to the Kalk Bay theater to watch Theater Sports (a show similar to Who's Line is it Anyways)

Wednesday: class in the morning, lunch at a pizzeria in Fish Hoek, a night spent watching Friends episodes with my roommate while eating chocolate cake

Thursday: chapel at BI, lunch in the cute little town of Stellenbosch, visit to Spier Cheetah Conservation, pet a cheetah for 5 minutes and learned about the organization's work to save the species, talkative evening with friends at Olympia Cafe

Friday: class in the morning, afternoon TBA

This morning I had breakfast with Jamie and talked about the 6 days that we have left in this country. We couldn't think of anything else we would like to do because we have pretty much covered everything we wanted to do while in South Africa. If we thought hard enough I'm sure we could come up with more things to do, but I think our point is that we are satisfied with this trip. Looking back I know it has been easy and it has been hard, it has been mind-blowing and it has been refreshing, but overall it's been a great trip.
