Maria's enjoying this magical place

This past week has been extremely busy with activities and people arriving. I went scuba diving and sky diving last week and skydiving was one of the most thrilling things I have done to date. It was such a cool feeling free falling through the air. I wasn’t as nervous as I thought I would be since I usually don’t like heights but thankfully I was really excited the whole time. It was a bummer that some people didn’t get to go the day we went because the winds really picked up but they will get to go next time. Everyone’s visitors are here and things are getting pretty hectic in a good way. I am so happy that Morgan is here since she is a really good friend of mine so it’s unique that we get to hang out and do really fun activities here in Cape Town. We plan on a lot of beach time, hiking, and definitely a surf lesson, which I am really looking forward to because I have never been. The weather has been absolutely beautiful lately since the seasons are starting to change. Its been in the low 80’s which leads into a beautiful nighttime temperature.

A few of us went on a sunrise Lion’s Head hike and it was amazing seeing the city in that light. The picture here is at about 6:10 am. We only made it halfway to the top then had to stop so we could watch the sunrise from there….I guess the 4:50 am wake  up call wasn’t early enough! When we finally got to the top there was an adorable husky which definitely made our day. I think we all plan on hiking at sunrise again because of the natural beauty it displays. It’s going to be a really fun week with all the visitors and activities in this magical place.
