Why hello everyone! I know its been a while since i wrote but nothing really thrilling has happened since i last wrote. Classes have been going well and i have been doing a lot of reading, some interesting others, i have no idea what is going on but i am still enjoying my time here so thats the important part. But unfortunatly our luck with beautiful weather has run out and the winter rain of Cape Town has started. So it has rained, no POURED, both yesterday and today. Luckly I was prepared and had my umbrella in my bag and i wore my rainjacket in the morning because i knew it was going to rain. but its still not fun when it pours when your walking down the mountain to go home or walking up the mountain to go to school. thats right its a mountain!! not just a hill, the university is on/in the mountain. luckly there is a jammie (the school shuttle) stop about 10 mins from my house so i am taking that a lot more since the weather has been not so good. also the rain has stopped us from going to the market and doing other fun things on the weekends. tomorrow we are supposed to go wine tasting in the vinared so hopefully the weather will clear up for that. sunday we are supposed to go hiking and to the markets but if it rains, who knows. so basically im hoping the rain goes away soon but like a south african guy said to me and my friend Ali today when we were waiting to cross the street in the downpour, "Welcome to Cape Town. Don't worry when the rain stops, the weather is awesome i promise." Hopefully our rain dance will work and it will stop soon!!
South African fact: When it rains and it is sunny out, it is called "Monkey Rain." Margaret told me that this morning and i looked it here with this weird look and she goes, "i guess you dont call it that cause u dont have monkeys in america huh?" and i said "umm no, only in the zoo!!!"
