Pictures from Two Oceans Aquarium from last weekend. Look! I found Buddy in South Africa! :)


I found Nemo!!! Apparently Nemo got frisky and made lots of little nemos.

Madiba and I. We make a really cute couple if I may say so :)

Dun dun dun dun....JAWS! Just for you Amanda! :)

So those are the end of the pictures that I feel like putting up. More are on my picture website, now onto this past weekend. This weekend past by quite uneventfully. I did not go out at all because I am exhausted and bored of the club scene. Instead, I stayed home at night and watched some movies.




On Friday, I went to Rondebosch center with Sarah to do some shopping. We went into Vertigo (my new favorite store) and I did not buy anything, even though there was a sale! I was proud of my self control. Then later, I took a MBT (mini bus taxi - they sound much more legit when you say MBT) to Observatory to meet Mia. We had fun, tried on some dresses. I tried on this gorgeous dress that I thought looked really good on me but it was the type of dress that you can only wear to a club. Since I do not go clubbing, I saw no point in spending money on it (it was not cheap at all) if I am going to use it once or twice. We went to Obs cafe for tea (big thing around here) and dinner. My dinner was a blueberry muffin and a delicious slice of chocolate cake. The waiter was really confused when he was asked to bring an Italian Job (a really good burger according to Mia) and a piece of cake. Whatever, I was happy with my selection.





Saturday was a little confusing and disappointing. I was supposed to go to Khayelitsha and start my soccer lessons with the girls but the vans did not show up on time to pick us up. We were supposed to be picked up at 10:30 because some people had tickets to a soccer game for 3:30 and needed to be back early. I was very dismayed that people did not tell me about the soccer game when I told everybody about the rugby game that I was invited to but that is another story. Anyways, the vans did not arrive at the house until 12:30 which was too late for anybody to go. I still would have gone but it would have only been me paying for the entire car, which I cannot afford to do. I was really disappointed and I am sure the kids were too. I understand that things run on Africa time, but 2 hours late is late even for African time! So, after that disappointment, I decided to go to the soccer game, if I could get tickets. Some people walked to Checkers to try and get them there but they were sold out. There were tickets at the actual stadium but we called and you had to buy tickets at a different stadium then where the game was being played it. It was confusing so I decided it was more of a hassle to try to do all of that. I will go to another game with Alyssa since she did not get to go either and shares a love for soccer. I wound up wasting a day and went running because I was pissed. After the run I jumped in the pool with all of my clothes on. The pool was so disgusting, I could get a UTI from jumping in there but it was fun. The boys bought inflatable pool toys, like a basketball hoop, and we were running in and dunking. It was crazy but fun.





Today, I went to Clifton Beach again. Soo gorgeous. I have a slight sunburn even though I once again lathered many many times. I found a Little Mermaid rock where I can pose like her. All I need now is a wave to come crashing at just the right minute and bam...I offically am a Little Mermaid freak (moreso than I am now). Oh! I got Amanda's postcards from Belgium! The Atomium structure was my favorite postcard and people are beginning to realize just how much of a science geek I actually am. And Dad's package came in. It came into a post office that is far away so I am going to get them to transfer is to the Rondebosch post office that is down the road. Why it is in Cavendish...I have no idea. The postal system here makes no sense to me.





I am very excited for next weekend. I still have my doubts about it but I think it will be fun. A bunch of us are leaving Thursday night on a bus to go to Plettenburg Bay (we will arrive at 3:30 in the morning). We are going to stay in a hostel and right next to Plettenburg Bay is Nature's Valley, a very secluded area where in order to get to the beach, you have to hike there. I am excited about it because it is supposed to be gorgeous. Since the beachs are hard to get to, they are empty even though they are gorgeous. The mountains are supposed to be gorgeous as well. Also, the worlds tallest bungee jumping is in the area. Don't worry, I am not bungee jumping - I would be psycho if I did that but I will watch everybody else doing that. We are then leaving Sunday night at 10:45 and will arrive in Cape Town at 6:45 in the morning. Hopefully I will be able to sleep the entire bus ride so that I can just go to work right after I arrive back in town. It will be nice to get out of the city because we are slowly running out of things to do. I want to plan a trip to Outdshoorn, the place where I can ride ostriches and see the Cango Caves. Also, there are a lot more nature reserves that I would love to go to. It is just so hard with so many people. All of them want to do everything but when it is such a large group, it is so hard to get things planned and get them done since we have to take everybody into account. And if you only want a select few people to go, it hurts other peoples feelings if you don't invite them. So basically, it is freaking hard to plan things around here. I always feel bad if certain people are not included but hey, it is not my job to make sure everybody has a good time right? Anyways, I love and miss you all!!
