These past couple weeks have been
great! I am making progress from my surgery and I am going to places less and
less in my sling! However I like wearing my sling because it serves as a
physical reminder that I should not be picking up heavy things. I have definitely
done that a few times!
One of my favorite things we did was
attend the Holi One Color Festival. We weren't able to buy tickets online, so
we showed up early to try and buy them. We showed up about 45 minutes before it
was supposed to start and no one was there! So we killed time by going to
Charlie's Bakery and the New York Bagel Shop across the street. It was
delicious! We got back about 10 minutes before the show was supposed to start
and we got in line with everyone else. We waited in line for an hour and a half
while they finished setting up the show. I guess there really is such a thing
called Africa time. Although it was frustrating to wait in the heat for so
long, it was so worth it. It was so much fun dancing to the music and throwing
colored powder at everyone.
My other favorite thing from these
past few weeks was the Michael Buble concert. I love concerts and I was so
excited to attend a concert at the Grand Arena. The venue doesn't look that big
from the outside, but we had to climb nearly 6 flights of stairs to get to our
seats! It was huge! While we could have seen Michael Buble in the States, it
was pretty cool to see an artist abroad.
I think it is so fascinating
that so many South Africans follow the same music that is big in the states. I
did not know any South African bands prior to coming here, but I have since
grown to like many. I am excited to listen to more South African music next
weekend at the Flamjangled Tea Party Music Festival. I think it'll be a
highlight of our trip and I cannot wait to experience it!
