One week left.....

Well my time in South Africa is beginning to wind down. I can't beleive I am in the final stretch already it seems like it went by so quickly.

Mckenzie, Zoe and I went to table mountain on friday. It was so pretty up there we could see Robin Island and all of downtown Cape Town. I picked up a few things at the "Shop on the Top" and we made it back in time to head to a family function for a full on Braai (BBQ/Grill). This Braai is a way of life here it is not just something you do, it is what you do. We had a Braai on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday!!!! It was SO good!!!! Friday evening one of Mckenzie's friends Kathy took me out for a night on the town. So I went to Nu Bar with Kathy and Leslie and met alot of people that night. Some interesting stories from that night. I also got a chance to try Savannah light, which is a cider drink. It has a very low alcohol content which means it just fills you up!! I also got a chance to do my first Jager bomb courtesy of JP who was generous enough to buy us our drinks. It ended up being a fun night, but I came home early since we had done so much that day, when they started playing the "Grease lighting Re-mix" I knew I was ready to go home.

Monday we took our trip to the waterfront where I was also able to pick up a few goodies. I am going to post the pics on the snapfish within the next few days so that you can all see my picture with Nelson Mandela, ok maybe it was a statue of him but still!!! I passed on buying the purse with his picture ALL over it, maybe next time!!! Cape Town is great.

It is raining today so we are taking it easy and catching up on some "Friends"!

Cheers!!
