In the little time we have been here our days and nights have been filled with many activities. Here is just a quick run down of the variety of stuff that has been going on.
Day 1: We got to our lovely homes and found out that we had the better of the two and have instantly connected with all of the students. This is actually a picture of my sweet roomie in front of our house (super adorable!!)
Day 2: this involved a campus tour and a long walk around the surrounding part of Cape Town. This campus is unlike any place that I have ever visited. Honestly this campus is stuck in between lush mountains and wild clouds. The picture below is the equivalent to a student union....bet you wish you were here!!!
Day 3: So the actual school part has began, and to be perfectly honest I am super happy to be able to better understand S. africa culture and history. We had a wonderful lecture today that really put some of the political issues into perspective. Up until today we had a very limited view of Cape Town, that of wealthy upper class, and prosperity. Our first meal together consisted of large meal and tasty cocktails overlooking the ocean. This is not what I was expecting, but I guess the point of traveling is to throw out all of you expectations and just live in the moment.
I just wanted to add the above picture cause the guys that we are with are so thoughtful. The bought all of us girls an individual flower....pretty sweet. More to come later, it is hard to sit on front of the computer when you would prefer to do so many other things!
