O Geez

Hey friends. Haven't been up to much the last couple of days. I made it to the beach on Thursday in Camps Bay. It was really fun; that was the first time I had used the mini bus taxis without some kind of supervision from Thapz or someone from South Africa. It worked out well though. I took lots of photos which I will put on my flickr soon. The waves were enormous, and the water was sooo blue. There was a boardwalk along the beach that we walked up and down, and then went out for a snack and some drinks at this cute cafe. We also celebrated my friend Rachel's birthday that night, which was a blast. We went out to this awesome place called Rafiki's for dinner...where our waitress proceeded to come out with us after the meal.

Currently, I'm sitting in the computer lab on UCT campus. It was not easy to be able to sit in this computer lab though. I have a tutorial at 3 and was trying to send an email to figure out where it was in the library, when I was told that you are not allowed to use email in the library. It was my school email! So now I'm in a certain computer lab that I'm allowed to use...so odd.

Saturday I saw Batman, it was sweet. The movie theaters are very nice here, although you have to pick your actual seats online before you get to the theater...I'm not used to that.

Yesterday, I went to Gardens, which is a section of Cape Town. Company's Garden is there, along with Parliament, and various museums. The weather hasn't been great the last few days, but it held out long enough for us to view the garden in sunlight. We went for coffee in the garden, it was a nice relaxing day. They don't have regular coffee here...I have to get like Cafe Latte's because otherwise its just espresso, or like ...chocolate milk.

Now I'm gonna continue to try to figure out where my TBA tutorial is...they sure don't make anything very easy for you here. O well, table mountain is within my view from any point of campus...it doesn't get much better than that!
