Cape Town

Today was a boring day to write about, but we learned a lot. We walked through an area of Cape Town that had all the government buildings. There was also a beautiful garden that had fountains, statues, and hundreds of different plants. It also had squirrels that's seems to follow us. The museum we visited had history on Africa as well as marine and mammal life. Enough said.
The V&A waterfront was fun because we got to eat lunch, we were all starving. Six of us decided to sit and eat lunch outside at a really busy restaurant. I ordered a safe meal of chicken stir fry, which was delicious. John had ordered ostrich, which was passed around the table. I am happy to say that i tried ostrich and actually enjoyed it! We also go to see the World Cup Stadium for the first time from Signal Hill. The views were amazing, just like everywhere else in South Africa.
I am enjoying the trip so far, everyone is getting along great. We were told that this may be the depression stage of culture shock, but Meganne and I had a roomy bonding talk, and we really understood where each is coming from.
