An Exciting Weekend

The weather has finally cleared and we had a lovely weekend! Friday was a day of work followed by an all you can eat sushi and chinese dinner with Ali, Amelia, Dianna, and Christina. We paid about 90Rand each which is about $12!! Let me just say it was AMAZING!! The sushi was very good and don't worry mom, it was very well prepared and in a nice, clean restaurant. After we called Archie (our taxi cab driver) and he brought us back to Ali and Amelia's house where we watched The Black Daliah but people didnt like it too much so me, Dianna and Christina took a cab home before it was over. Saturday morning we got up and went Wine Tasting at a local vineyard. There we got a little tour and a explanation of how wine is made. Then we got to taste 4 different kinds of wine: 2 white, one Rose and one red. They were all pretty good but I think I liked the 2nd white one we had the best. We then had amazing food and left for the Cheetah Rehabilitation center!!! Here Christina and I paid 80 Rand (about $11) to go pet and take a picture with the cheetah!!! It was so awesome to touch it but then after it stared Christina down it got up and started walking so we had to stand close to the wall and sneak out quickly before it ate us for supper!! Haha just kiding it wouldnt have ate us but it was still pretty scary!! Anyways I got two pictures so it was worth the money.

After the Cheetahs I came home and did some work. Then I stayed in for the night and hung out with my host mom Margaret, we played spider solitaire lol. Today we went to the market and it was filled with many great paintings and jewlery. I bought Julia and Melissa birthday presents :), i bought myself earings and a handmade photo album. I hope to go back there soon so let me know if you want anything!!! Tonight I hope to be going to church so ill let you know how that works out!!

South African fact: The only negative thing I have to say about South Africans is that they are really bad at giving directions.
