I can’t even believe it’s already been two weeks since we arrived in the most beautiful city in the world. This has been the most amazing two weeks of my life and I couldn’t imagine a more incredible group of people to share these experiences of a lifetime with. Although I feel like we haven’t been in Cape Town for two whole weeks already, I do feel like I’ve known the people forever. And the best part is, we haven’t even had the two weeks I initially wanted to come to Cape Town for which is the service and adventure weeks. I’m never leaving!!
Yesterday was an exciting day in Cape Town. AnnaBeth, Madeline and Darby are the four best roommates ever and we had a bonding day yesterday. First, we started off by going to the Old Biscuit Mill. Last weekend we slept too late to make it like the rest of Global LEAD so this was our first time. It’s a precious market with lots of good food, wine, clothes and random things. Meg Gheesling and I had the Belgium waffles and it was quite possibly the most delicious food I’ve ever had. We saw the most adorable child ever. He was wearing a Fedor and the most precious trousers and we little almost kidnapped him. The Old Biscuit Mill is definitely a MUST if you come to Cape Town.
Afterwards, we went to the pick n’ pay and got the stuff to make a nice home cooked meal for the roomies! We got chicken and pasta and the lovely AnnaBeth cooked for us. Besides the fact that we made a huge mess and spilled all of our pasta sauce all over our floor, it was a perfect dinner. We have yet to clean our kitchen since, I’m guessing we should get on that.
After dinner we all hung out in the guys’ room and then went to our first African concert! The band was called Goldfish and they were awesome!! It was kinda like a techno concert but it was so awesome to see it! All of the guys dressed up in rave-type clothes and we gelled their hair up. I’m gonna have to give the best dressed award to Mr. Jack Konas for his African/Mexican shirt, haha! Last night was amazing and such a great time! So THANKS TO DUSTIN HARRIS for letting me have his ticket so last minute! Today has been full of hearing stories from last night and starting our papers that are due in the morning! Tonight we have our 3rd (I still can’t believe that) big group dinner and tomorrow Bafana Bafanas start our service week! It’s going to be a great week!!!
So long America!
