week 2

again, i apologize that this is all for now... but i'll try to fill you in

so to start, we went sea kayaking last weekend . absolutely beautiful!

and then a quick swim afterwards- at least now i can say i swam in the atlantic on the african side in winter

sydney and i. wet and cold but still smiling!

 and a yummy bushman lunch and then mini safari

this lovely woman taught me the clicks of her language

And i worked in the computer lab in kayamandi during the mornings- teaching people everything from how to click a mouse to writing a resume in word

painfully slowwww

and we got a tour of kayamandi

those are what they call smileys. aka raunchy sheep heads

some lovely ladies out on the town

spent friday afternoon in cape town along the water front. needless to say, im glad we're staying in stellenbosch and not cape town

i never said it wasnt beautiful though...

sunset over table mountain and lions head

all day saturday was spent wine & cheese tasting and vineyard touring

ever since i watched the parent trap, ive wanted to live on a vineyard.  being here only makes me want it even more

on our day off, some of us decided to give a try at climbing one of the mountains right around here

struggling at the beginning of the trail

 

i apologize as this computer is getting more and more difficult to use. so blogging may become nonexistent altogether. i am about to chuck this damn thing out the window. i have spent hourS doing this post. but dont worry, there have been plenty of expletives along the way

it was more of a scramble/climb rather than a nice hike. and it rained. awesome
