The past 24 have been absolutely phenomenal! Many of us went out last night for a night on the town with the students from Cape Town University. The people here could not be more hospitable and willing to help us. We all had agreat time hanging out with each other and getting to how the kids our own age treat their nightlife. This morning we went to meet with the company that will be helping us with all of our adventure desires from Great White Shark Cage Diving to Sandboarding down the dunes just outside of Cape Town. We boarded a bus around 11 am local time and drove throughout the city. We went to the city center, the Waterfront where the 2010 World Cup Stadium is being built, Camps Bay which is an area of spectacular cliffs and rock formations with hugeswells driven by the collision of the two oceans, and a local fishing marina. At the marina we were served fresh fish and chips and it was amazing. The people were great and so happy to see us. After our meal we drove up the mountain to"Lions Head". This overlooks the entire city. Unfortunately we were so high up that the clouds from the storm hindered our view, however when we could seethrew it was spectacular. A large group of us afterwards went back to the Waterfront for shopping and to indulge in some more local seafood. Again, the food was incredible. Were all back at the apartments now getting ready to go out with the students again. This country is amazing! How will we ever leave?
