Today we hiked Skeleton Gorge which took about 5 hours. We met two couples who are from Cape Town and in their 20's and we tagged along with them. It was really tough, pretty much climbed straight up the mountain, using steps and ladders. On the top there was a dam with beach sand and we hung out up there for a while. We came back down another ravine and had the most beautiful view, which was an "African Moment." It was unreal. Then we made our way back down to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens where a lot of people and couples were picnicking for the afternoon (Valentine's Day) and walked through while listening to the live music playing at the concert area. Now I am exhausted and relaxing before our house hosts a braii (bbq) with our neighbors who we hung out with last night and met all their friends at their house warming party, which was a lot of fun. A lot of people from our program are coming over too, should be fun. Tomorrow classes begin and I need to actually start applying myself and get motivated to begin doing work, it's been almost 2 months haha. Braii time.
Hey Todd...
ReplyDeleteWow....sounds like you're pretty busy. I hope your taking a bunch of pictures! I thought you started your classes a few weeks ago. I guess I was wrong. Anyway....let's hope the classes are not too difficult and you still have some time to 'play'.
Nothing too new in Endicott to report. Still winter. Supposed to get 4 to 7 inches of the white stuff over night. Kids are hoping to get a snow day on Tuesday. They're off today for President's day. Aunt Lona and I went to watch Meagan play soccer in Binghamton yesterday. She was in a Tournament and the team came down from Syracuse. They won their division. She plays well. Sneaky smart. Got to see Uncle Bill & Aunt Liz obviously. Aunt Lona got a case of the Flu bug last night so I believe she stayed home from work today. I had mu flu shots so I SHOULD be ok?! We'll see. Sooo....just waiting for warmer weather. The boys will be playing baseball again this summer. Probably start practicing in late April sometime.
Thanx for the updates. Hard to believe we're already in the 2nd half of February already!! Times flyin'....enjoy it while ya can.
CYA,
Love ya...Unc, Aunt Lona, Tyler, Travis and Buddy
