SA Update

[superri]

We've been exploring Cape Town for about four days now. So far we've done one beach day (Muizenberg) and had the same exact experience Mum had years ago. She would go to the beach and see tons of people she knew. We arrived at the beach to hear someone yell out "Adrienne!" It was the older sister of one of my high school friends. We knew they were in Cape Town but not where and we didn't expect to see them after seeing her at the airport. So we hung out with her family at the beach and Mum ran into two people she knew from high school. Then a guy who had worked at Galil (a camp my brothers and I all went to) recognized Brian and came over to say hello. We were also stopped on the beach by this boy who knew Bri and turned out to be our friend's cousin. It was pretty awesome. So we made plans to hang out with the family again . Tamara, the girl I knew, came with Bri, Jeff and me to Trivia Night at this restaurant at the V&A Waterfront but it turned out they weren't having it so we went to the mall area and walked around for a bit before finding a coffee shop to chill at..then we met up with the parents and they got some coffee, too, before we all left. That was yesterday. I'm going out of order. A real day by day post will be made later. And it will include further explanation of the following: Wally the street performer, the apartment thing, Jeff's sunburn of annoyance, Stressed to Kill, It's Not Just Fez, Boulders beach/Penguins!!!, zebras, Table Mountain, Camps Bay, Moyos, Lanzerac, wine tasting, wine country, baboons!, Cape Point, the Flying Dutchman, and probably more stuff that I just can't think of right now. These are mostly here to remind me of what I wanted to mention before I forget it. Remember that journal I was supposed to be keeping? Haven't written in it since day 1. Been too busy watching movies once we get to the apartment with Jeff. We've so far watched "The Prestige" and "The Illusionist". It's been a Magic-Movie-Theme. But that has nothing to do with Africa.

We have four more days here. Tomorrow we're going to the Market and then Kalk Bay for beach time. Hopefully I will find my Nyami nyami charm (and not in ivory). Wanna know what that is, look it up on wikipedia. We also want to go on some nice drive but since I'm stuck in the middle I'm not very fond of long drives. But we'll see. We are going with the flow.

Not sure when I'll get back to the bar. May update again in a few days. Love to everyone. I'll catch up with the FList later.
