Yesterday afternoon, I went to an outdoor concert at Kirstenbosch botanical gardens. This is a beautiful place only about a 15 minute drive from our house. The concert was set against the mountains in the background, and there were beautiful trees all along the grass. Several people commented that it looked like they might have filmed "Jurassic Park" there; I think the lush trees, plants, and grass against the mountains did feel kind of prehistoric.
We brought a picnic dinner and sat on blankets. I went with my house mates and a bunch of other North Americans in our program. There were tons of young people, but also lots of families and couples. It was nice to relax and enjoy the scenery.
The concert itself was not amazing. It was an Afro-ska band which reminded me of some of the concerts I went to as a freshman in high school. Once the concert started lots of people got up and danced, which unfortunately meant I could not see the band. I think I would have liked it more with two working feet.
At any rate, I think we might check it out again next weekend. I just love the fact that we can go to an outdoor concert in the middle of February.
