I have been here for just about a week and the most astonishing thing about South Africa is that it is much colder than back at home in Minnesota! I knew it would be winter here, but the weather reports made it seem as if it would be 60 most days and generally nice outside. What i have found out to be true though is that it gets very cold once the sun goes down at 6ish, and it has been rainy like 25% of the time.
Besides the fact that i wasn't ready for the weather to be quite like this i am loving Cape Town so far! The picture i posted is of the Cape of Good Hope, the South West most point of Africa, as we were told by the tour guide. I have taken hundreds of pictures already (i just walk around with my camera in hand lots of the time :D ) but i think the scenery will stop being so amazing after being here for a few weeks. There is a beautiful mountain visible from just outside the apartment, and i think it is amazing because there is nothing like it back in Minnesota.
Well it is time to go off to more orientation stuff, but i will try to post fairly regularly on here so keep coming back for more life from Africa!
