This past weekend was super relaxing but we
explored lots of new places in Cape Town!
On Thursday night, a bunch of us went to a play that one of Erica and
Kat’s friends was performing in at the Baxter Theater. The play was really interesting, it was only
45 minutes long, there were only 2 actors, and a majority of it was performed
in Xhosa, so we were kind of lost. Even
so, we could all feel the emotions through the actors, and we even got to talk
to the lead after the show and he told us more about the meaning and background
of the play. I am really glad that we
all went together so we could experience something new and out of our comfort
zones!
On Friday, Karen, Rachele, and I spent the
day volunteering at our activist project, an animal hospital in
Bridgetown. I spent some time assisting
the vet during surgeries, which was fun and interesting, even though there was
kind of a lot of blood. The rest of the
time, I mostly just helped with little things around the hospital like moving
animals from surgery and cleaning up. It
was nice to feel like I was making a difference with the animals in the area,
especially since I see so many stray and sick dogs when I walk to and from Eros
every day.
That night, the three of us
decided to go to Bloubergstrand Beach to eat dinner and watch the sunset. It was so beautiful, but it was so windy! We
were getting blown over by the wind while trying to take pictures, and sand was
blowing everywhere, but it was still an amazing sunset and perfect view of
Table Mountain.

On Saturday, Sarah, Laura, Anna, Karen, and
I had a great day at Kirstenbosch Gardens!
We went to Old Biscuit Mill in the morning to eat breakfast and get
lunch to bring to the gardens, and then spent the rest of the day taking
pictures and exploring at Kirstenbosch.
We walked around so many different trails and saw such a wide array of
plants, flowers, and trees. It was the
perfect day to spend there, and we got a bunch of awesome pictures. It was so
relaxing to spend our Saturday surrounded by nature and away from the usual
loud sounds and pollution of the city!
