Cape town is rocking my socks. I am SOOOOO much happier here. People are fun and friendly and cool. Bounced from couch to couch for the first week, but now I'm moved into my apt that Im sharing with two other mid-twenties awesome chicas (well actually one just stays in her room all day, but really i find that a nice quality in roommates). I live on Kloof street in a penthouse that is located next to a restaurant everyone knows and loves and hangs out at... arnolds. I am down the street from a health food mega store and cafe where I spend way too much time (im there now actually). The vibe is sort of Santa Monica. I am just 5 minutes from Long street which is the sort of well known center of town. happenin bars and cute clothes and millions of backpackers and all that.
The Earthchild Project is happy to have me on board and I've jumped right into things. Ive been out with the garden clubs a couple times and been working on some office-type stuff as well to really lend a hand. The staff is incredibly friendly inviting me to dance classes and free yoga and out to eat and giving me couches to sleep on when i needed them. Im going on a hike with a bunch of grade 7s this weekend. Very exciting.
Ive been hiking like crazy. I am literally walking distance to the mountains... because the mountains are sort of IN the city. Table mountain, lions head, devils peak... for those of you like... huh. you can go look em up.
Good food and cafes are every where (my money is disappearing much faster here as well). This city feels like San Francisco except its actually affordable. My room in one of the nicest parts of town on the top floor with a crazy view of the city and table mountain costs me less than the room i rented in a house in Lawrence. Soooooo eat it.
Is that enough of an update. Sorry no funny stories or anything. all my love to all of you.
