A day at da Braai!

I got to sleep in today! Whitey took me to Lieesbeck Gardens which is the dorm where some of the CIEE students are staying at. We had a braai (pronounced bri)there. It's a south african BBQ where they slow roast lamb...yumm it was so good! We got to feast until our heart content then go swimming. It was a beautiful day! After lunch, a friend Kristin and I walked back to her homestay house in Mowbray. It's a 15 minute walk from UCT to her house. Here is the view from the main road by her house:
Here is Rondebosch commons. This is a huge piece of land that every developer wants to get a hold of. It used to be a military compound, but is now a conservation area. No one can build on it. ever.

We all went out to the fat cactus, a local tex-mex restaurant. It was so good! Note the obama burger:


Because of the geography of Cape Town, no one will ever see a sunset if they live in Cape Town. The mountain acts as a barrier, so you have to drive around the mountain to see a sunset. Since we stayed at fat cactus a long time, we missed the sunset but made it in time to see the moon before it went down!
