ok.. where to begin... from what i can remember, last week was a normal week- kidz clubs, muzenburg, capri, etc. but the weekend was absolutely wonderful!!
I honestly can't remember what we did on friday... i'm sure it will come back to me later, but saturday we got to go to a South African (springbok) vs. Italy rugby game! it was really really cool! we were about 5-7 rows from the field and had an amazing time!
The downside: it rained.. the whooole time! Fortunately, that made the game a lot more interesting and made for some funny stories. But we were completely drenched! That really is only fun for about ten minutes... then you're just miserable. ha!
however, if you do decide to go sit out in the rain for a few hours, i do not advise wearing jeans.
1. because they take about 10 years to dry.
2. They get really heavy causing you to have to waddle around when you walk
3. They stretch out... so then you get to hold your pants up, while you waddle,all while basking in the ever so comfortable wetness of your pants and bum.
so there you have it. :)
OH! almost forgot, last thursday we went to Mike and Pam's flat for dinner. They made chili and brownies, which made me feel right at home! it was such a fun night!! well... until we played Mafia... (it's a game... if you don't know it, don't worry about it) basically... i now officially hate the game. i have never ever played a more frustrating game of Mafia in my life!! tragic.. i know. ;) other than this little factor though, everything was great!
but back to the weekend: on Sunday, we had a beautiful day! in fact, days like this hardly ever happen in Cape Town during the winter. So, we decided to go to Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope (the southe western most point of Africa), and oh my goodness... i can't even begin to describe how spectacular it was! I got to hike up to the top lookout point, and it was B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!! we climbed over the rock wall at the top and went out the very edge (we prob. weren't supposed to do that, hence the wall, but we got to see an amazing view by doing so. in fact, the water was a color i have never seen before in person- like a deep blue/green- it was stunning! the funniest part of it all though, was over at The Cape of Good Hope. The waves here a HUGE! i laugh every time i think about being at the beach back home thinking the waves were huge... they seriously hold nothing to these. But, the waves were coming in high and crashing up on the rocks... it truly was incredible to watch. But, jess decides she is going to go over and stand on one of the rocks that is getting slammed with waves. She claimed she could dart away from them, but as she tried to escape a giant on she lost balance and got completely consumed/ drenched by the wave! it was definitely the highlight of all of our day.
OK- i am literally falling in and out sleep as i write this, so, i think it would be a good breaking point for now. I will finish the rest with a blog tomorrow. get excited! ;D
goodnight all!
much love!
