It has been awhile but I am now on the internet at my homestay!! They have limited time so I will not be on all the time but will try to get on somewhat frequently. So the past days have been very exciting. Friday night we went to an African restaurant where we ate great food and danced the night away!! Saturday we left the hotel and went to our various places of residence for the semester. I personally was picked up by my host mother Margaret in her son Edwards (21 and UCT student) car. She then proceeded to drive me to her house where herself, Edward, and the dog Toby live. Margaret also has a daughter Kimberly who is 24 but lives in Australia. Then there is Timothy who i think is the boyfriend but im not quite sure. the house is very lovely and has bright walls and tall ceilings. it also has a gate out front which is pretty cool to operate. The dog Toby is absolutely adorable and looks exactly like Uncle Buddy's dog Knock out. Anyways I have had many cups of tea with both Margaret and Sue, who is housing another CIEE student. The house also doesnt have a dryer which is different but everything is airdried outside which seems to work fine.
So now that I have told you all about my wonderful homestay, I want to mention my great accomplishment of the trip!! I climbed TABLE MOUNTAIN!! it was very long and tiring but I did it. Pictures were taken and will be sent out sometime. Unfortunatly i have to go, dinner is ready but i will try to post again tomorrow!! love and miss you all
