Katherine and Mary Claire take on Cape Town!: Update

Friday we were supposed to go to Cape Point, but because of the weather it got postponed to Sunday. Therefore, we had another lazy day of writing our essays and catching up on some much needed rest! Like every other Saturday we started off the morning with Old Biscuit Mill. I seriously think it has been one of my favorite parts of the trip! This Saturday we got the nutella and banana crepe and pancake bites. They were to die for. We did a little more shopping in the stores around OBM and then headed to Long Street. Long Street proved to be quite an adventure. On the way there, our cab driver kept asking us, "Are you sure Long Street?" We insisted since it was right near Green Market and near some boutiques. Well what do you know, we jump out of the cab and are immediately greeted by a friendly South African who yelled, "Hello b******, welcome to Long Street!" Needless to say we didn't stay very long. That night a group of us went to Rick's Cafe Americain. It is based off of Rick's Cafe in the movie Casablanca. It was such a cool restaurant and the food was amazing! On the topic of good food, we literally have not had one bad meal here. I don't know what I was expecting, but the food is incredible! We have gone to some of the best restaurants! Let's just say we are going to need to get on a workout schedule when we get home. Sunday, we finally got to go to Cape's Point. We drove all the way around the coast and had the chance to stop at Chapman's Peak and Cape of Good Hope before we finally made it to Cape Point. Along with the beautiful scenery of Cape Point, there are some pretty mean baboons. They have signs all around about not feeding them or interacting with them. They even have baboon police that carry sticks and guard the trashcans. One of our roommates was carrying a bag of chips and a baboon chased her down to get the chips! Not going to lie, I was probably more terrified of the baboons than bungee jumping. Today we had class with all 140 students together again. It was about creating a vision for your life. We have to create a statement that is to guide our choices and decisions throughout life. It has definitely been something interesting to think about and actually put down on paper. We now are in the final week of our trip, and I am going to be very sad to go! We have had such a great time making new friends and experiencing once in a lifetime adventures. I'll leave with an awesome video from today's lesson.
