Good Bye, Cape Town

This is my very last morning in Cape Town, I head home to Chicago this evening. Yesterday, I celebrated Cape Town by going to the beach and sitting on some beautiful rocks (way, way too cold to swim). The view continues to amaze me, I think Cape Town is the most beautiful city I've ever lived in. My roommates and I had dinner at our favorite Thai restaurant here; I'm the first one in our little group to leave so it was great that we could have one last dinner together!! I still have a little more packing to do today, but we're also heading out to our favorite organic market for one last chicken avo sandwich (actually the best sandwich I've ever had in my whole life).

I'm sad to end my semester, but I'm super excited to see family and Chicago again. Its been a long time away from home and I'm anxious to see everyone!!

Farewell, South Africa.

asleep at a bar

I've been trying to push myself (and my foot) to go out more; I don't want my foot to keep me from having fun. So, the other night I was excited to go out with some of my house mates to see a folk singer in bar. The bar is called the Armchair, which seemed promising because I figured that would mean I could sit down. When we got there, I found I was right--there were several couches and chairs. I grabbed a seat right away.

However, I think these couches may have been too comfortable because I fell asleep as I was listening to the music!! They performers were pretty good, but I think the combination of a dark room, a comfy couch, a beer, and my habit of going to bed early led to this little nap. It turned out, though, that I was not the only one to fall asleep at the show; the two girls sitting next to me also enjoyed a nice rest.

For those of you in my family, I think this a clear example of the Glover Disease--falling asleep early while reading, watching tv, and apparently listening to live music.
