Update

Dear Friends and Family,

The past week in Cape Town has been fairly uneventful. Just school and some good meals. Therefore I thought I would share the details of the daily life in Cape Town of an "Academic Tourist" (as our professor calls us).

Picture 1: This is our bathroom with the double faucet sinks that are everywhere. The cold faucet is ice cold and the hot faucet is scalding. I've figured out how to wash my face by first filling my hands with cold water and then running them quickly under the hot faucet, splashing and then repeating.
Picture 2: We are planning on driving the "Garden Route" next week which is the coast of S. Africa. It's supposed to be very beautiful and scenic, so this is a picture of the house planning our course.






Picture 3: This is Chico and Big Blue, our household cars. They are the finest in African Transportation!














Picture 4: Last week was super cold and our house has no insulation whatsoever, so sometimes we make fires. Here is Kristen warming her hands by the toasty fire :)













Picture 5: Family Dinner at Home. Homemade chicken soup, pasta, and chicken on the Braai. Jacek was the chef. (pictured from left to right: Malin, Berta, Me, Kristen, Jacek, and Daphne. Asbjorn is taking the photo)












Picture 6: Asbjorn, Berta, Malin, and I at "Fork," a Tapas restaurant on Long Street. 5 Tapas Sampler and a glass of wine for $7 per person. Fortunately with the state of the USD, we have the worse state of the ZAR.

Picture 7: Another INCREDIBLE sunset in Cape Town.

Picture 8: Berta and I enjoying sundowners with an ocean view. Lion's Head is the mountain peak you see behind us.

Picture 9: My favorite class! Emerging Enterprises! The man in the back is one of the professors (we have 2). And the little black lady with the white hair is a social entrepreneur that came to speak this morning. (OK THERE WAS A PICTURE HERE AND SOMEHOW I DELETED IT! :( I'll post it next time, since it literally takes 15 minutes to upload a photo)

Until next time!
