Fountains Cape Town

... at the gate in the midst of boarding, so good to go.<br><br>I was actually so tired, that I think I managed to get a decent amount of sleep on the flight down to Johannesburg. I had text messaged with Gabbi, one of the people with whom we will be staying in Joburg, the night before, but we really hadn&#8217;t established a clear plan for what was going to happen in the morning. I had asked her about leaving some stuff at her house while we were in Cape Town and on ...

... I stopped home for a little while before Matt picked me up at 5:45 for Youth ( : When we arrived at church, all of the students and workers packed into a van and a car and headed to Matt's house about 15 minutes away for games and hang-out time! It was great to see a lot of new faces and reunite with familiar ones. There were probably about 20 teens in all. We played some games outside and inside, and it was just a fun night spent with ...

... our eyes peeled for any wild life. Obviously mine were not peeled enough because as i was flying down the mountain path, I rolled directly over a snake taking in its daily sunshine. It reared its head, beady eyes fixed on my tasty calves, I shrieked like a snake handler allergic to snakes, raised my tasty calves as high as they would go and closed my eyes. I never felt a sharp painful sensation so assumed I had avoided a premature end to my ...

... Mountain and an unexpected bath in the bathroom, so we were initially quite happy. It was only when the music in the bars carried on until 4am that we decided that we would stay elsewhere on our return! There were a lot of security men and police around, which had the effect of making us feel safe but also made us think that we wouldn't want to be there if the security men weren't there! The Stellenbosch and the Winelands ...

... evicted between 1966 and 1982. Under the Group Areas Act of 1950 (or 1952?), District Six was named a white-only area in 1966 and non-white residents were forcibly removed and relocated to the desolate Cape Flats, which now houses the townships. The evicted residents' homes in District Six were demolished. The museum was actually less than great. It came highly recommended in guidebooks and from other program participants ...

... with cheetahs, right? I would have yesterday, but ran out of time before I could get in to see them. My third flat mate moved in on Friday. She is from Tanzania and this is her first semester at UCT. She seems really nice and I am excited to get to know her, as well as my other two flat mates, a little better over the next few months. It is kinda interesting, however, that all four of us are international students in a sense; one American, one Tanzanian ...

... and even your bloodstream. So the added danger of a deep dive is that you can't just go straight to the top if you have a problem. When we did resurface at the end of this dive, a girl from Durban who had never done a cold water dive before was, as they say, "in a bad place." She was staring off into space and didn't realize that her regulator was free-flowing (something that happens often and just requires you to turn it over). I flipped her regulator and ...

... I met here were charming and wonderful. I hope they can all enjoy a land of peace and plenty for their children. Next we visit a game reserve and see some rhinos, giraffes, hippos, lions and pose with the cheetahs. We take a tour to Cape Point and ride bikes through the Cape of Good Hope National Park and enjoy the incredible views. We manage to escape the baboons and get an eyeful of wild mountain zebras. On New Year's Eve day we visit a few of South Africa ...
