I am fortunate enough to have been
in Cape Town for a month already visiting family, but the past few days have
been a whirlwind of excitement while welcoming the rest of our group to this
beautiful country! Our house is
gorgeous, and although Onna and I had the last pick of rooms, we’re very happy
with the room we got, as it opens right onto the backyard complete with a
pool. It’s just been two short days so
far, but we’ve all settled into the house.
We explored the surrounding area, a town called Rondebosch, to get a
taste of our neighborhood for the next few months.
Today, we drove and visited various
spots all around the peninsula, including Hout Bay, where we saw a man feeding
seals from his mouth; Cape Point, where we enjoyed a delicious lunch (I ate the
most delicious and fresh hake I can ever imagine has existed); and Boulder’s
Beach, which is famous for the penguins that inhabit it. I am quite exhausted, but very happily so. The beauty of this country continues to leave
me speechless every day. A camera can’t
truly capture the gorgeous mountains and beaches that surround us, but
hopefully these pictures give some sense as to the amazing nature we get to
experience for the next few months.
