A boat full of Irishmen

HEY!  Today we went on a peninsula tour! We drove around to all parts of the peninsula and saw a lot of pretty things.  We also visited the Cape of Good Hope.  The whole day was really really windy.  Like the windiest ever.  Here are some pictures:

There used to be restrictions on what color your house could be.  Not any more!

So yeah, today was fun, and a good way to spend my last day of summer.  Classes start tomorrow morning at 8:30.  I am excited and worried!  I still can't believe I have been here for only two weeks or that I have so many more months to explore.
