Yesterday was a fantastic Friday. I got out of class at 1, and jumped in a car with Anna and Emma (a friend who lives in Mawbury) to take Anna to her IES class on the UCT campus. Emma and I talked Fuad (the IES driver) into taking us to the Gardens neighborhood so I could buy some yarn!!! The yarn shop was a total success. It was less expensive than I thought it would be, and although it is acrylic yarn, it is a fun color and exactly what I need. Fuad then took us down to Longstreet, where Emma and I grabbed a bite to eat and did some window shopping. Then Anna finished her class, so we hopped in a minibus taxi to Mawbury, where Emma and the rest of the students with IES live. It was such a cool area, and I tried really hard to not be bitter that I don't live there. We went to a Mexican restaurant, where we watched a very close rugby game, and then a very chill South African food and dessert place. It was very very hip. A lot a natural looking people talking. We were definitely not cool enough to be there and we had some lemon meringue pie. Yumm! Getting home was a bit of a nightmare logistically, talking to cab drivers on a phone with bad reception, but eventually we pulled it all together and I got to knit and catch up with the Crossfit Games in bed. An almost perfect night. Today we got to Egoli, to continue tutoring and getting ready for our projects with the community.
Hope Everyone is happy and well!
