What can I say? South Africa is
beautiful and the people here get more amazing the more I meet them. Now that
we’ve had a bit of time to settle in we’ve branched out and explored the city
and all Cape Town has to offer. Just last weekend we all decided to do our
first beach trip to Muizenberg and the beauty took my breath away. The beach is
surrounded by mountains and caters to everyone around including surfers and the
oh so feared Great White Shark. Luckily when we went there were no sightings
but hopefully some of the girls and myself will be taking some surf lessons there
in the near future.
There’s so much more to explore and I can’t wait
to dive in but life here has gotten that much more busy now that classes and internships
have started. So far all the people at my internship have been very welcoming
and classes haven’t piled too much work on us yet, but I know it’s sure to
come. Finding the balance between work and fun will be a challenge but you’ll
find it’s easier than not to incorporate a little bit of both in your daily
life. Just today after class, Maria, Sam, and myself took the initiative to
hike Lion’s Head. Although it’s the smaller of the two mountains it was a
difficult climb with a most rewarding view. The feeling when you got to the top
was one of accomplishment and awe because although we were huffing and puffing
from the strenuous trek, you completely forget how hard it was to get there
when you take a moment and just look out and see where you are. In one
direction we had the complete view of Table Mountain and all of Cape Town. Then
to our other side was the beautiful ocean and Twelve Apostles, another mountain
chain. The beauty here never ceases to amaze me and I’m excited for my many
more adventures.
