Being Tourist

---

So it's Sunday morning here -we just went to church (ok we only stayed for about 20 minutes) and had lunch. And since Friday night we've basically been tourist. Here's a recap:

Friday we headed out to Long Street (it was Nichole, myself, and Sharon aka Dead Weight). Long Street is kinda Sunsetish in the sense that its this one street with all these clubs and you walk up and down. It was a lot fo fun. We ended up at this place called Jo'Burg where they played stuff we used to listen to from like 6th to 9th grade (93-97). So all the dancing you wanted to do when you were too young to club we did!! People here are funny...and the lines are hilarious. Here are some: "You are my size." "I'll take you to the candy shop." "I've never danced with a chinese girl before." People are also persistent...lol. The clubs stay open pretty late -which is cool. We didn't head out till almost 1:00 AM on Friday and the clubs didn't call until 4:00/5:00 AM.

After waking up late on Saturday we ended up going shopping. We wanted to get up earlier, but that didn't happen. Our first stop was Garden Center -a bootleg sort of mall. We then went to the top of Table Mountain via a cable car. It was very beautiiful. After, we went to this other mall called Canal Walk 0it was huge and very American in a way -there were American shops. Also, everything stayed open late which is different because most places close early on Saturdays. Saturday afternoon and Sundays are usually family days and days of rest -which is cool, but at the same time soooo quiet. You may be wondering if we went out Saturday night, and we tried -but we didn't. We fell asleep. it's like the week was catchig up with us.

Sunday we woke up and after getting over the disappointment of not going out, we went to church like I mentioned earlier. Then Xolani took us (Nichole, me, Sharon, and Gemma). We went to the beach, then the peguin beach (Simon Town), and went to watch the Sunset at a place called Chapman's Peak.

It's been a fun two days -but I want to stay longer!

At the Beach...
So I didn't get the beach day I wanted so this is a pretend "I spent the day getting bronzed out" shot. As you can see though, I am not very bronze.

Posing with the Penguins!
Nichole and I with the penguins. Aren't they cute??

More Penguins
Who knew we'd find penguins in South Africa?

View from Chapman's Peak
Yet another gorgeous view. Can you believe how gorgeous it is?

Thinking
Here I am looking into the sunset and contemplating one of life's biggest dilemma's -what do I want to eat? Props out to Nichole for taking this picture!
