PENGUIN DAY!!!

Today was a fabulous day because we got to see the PENGUINS!!!! But first lets start at the beginning of the day when I woke up at 7am, when it was still dark out, walked out into the kitchen and stepped in dog poop/puke!!! then i tried to pick it up but i couldnt find the trash bags so margaret took care of it. Then myself and the other homestay students proceeded to walk up one of the many hills to middle campus for the start of our UCT orientation. We then got on buses and took a tour of Cape Town and Cape Point. We stopped at various places along the way including beaches, drove through the townships, Boulder Beach with the penguins, Cape Hope and Cape Point. The penguins were absolutely adorable and i took many pictures dont worry!!! (contact my mom or kevin if u want the email with the pics) Then we went to the south-western most part of Africa and proceed to go on ANOTHER hike up and down some mountains. (ps my legs hurt A LOT right now lol). After we drove back into town and had lunch at a local african place with live entertainment. So all and all it was a very exciting day with beautiful weather but tomorrow is supposed to rain :( but we'll see if it actually happens!!! love and miss you all


South African fact: We drove past Roben Island today which holds the prison that Nelson Mendela spent 8? years of his life.
