So, today was a pretty relaxing day. While the some of the other interns went to another township mass, I decided to sleep in. It was the first day I’ve slept past 9am since May 31st, the day after I arrived. To put it mildly, I have been exhausted, so sleeping in was a great life decision.
After I woke up around 10:30 (I have no idea how I used to sleep in until nearly 1pm), I started reading my book, Tailgating, Sacks, and Salary Caps, a book about the history and current state of the NFL as of 2006. After reading for awhile, I decided to go down to the mall for some lunch and some people watching. I took my book along with me just to be safe. While enjoying a cappuccino (I seriously drink so much coffee and tea here) and eggs benedicts, I took in the sites of the mall I live in (I need to post pictures of the mall at some point, so people can actually understand that I do live in a mall).
As always, it is interesting to see how differently people dress here. Yes, there are your usual gangs of hipsters, but it seems that everyone dresses so much “nicer” than we do in the States. We truly are “ugly” Americans, at least here in Cape Town. Apparently my sweatshirt, shorts, and sandals look does not cut it here like it would in South Bend.
After I got back upstairs, I met up with Michael, Suvrat and Collin, and we went down to the V&A Waterfront again. While there, I got a safari hat. It’s the one you see in the picture there. I call it my Indiana Jones hat. We head out for safari on Thursday at 6am and get back sometime Monday night. There will be epic blog posts when that I get back on Monday night. Well, that’s pretty much it for now. I’m going to go read some and hit the hay so that I can be rested for another full day in the townships. G’night folks!
