So Cape Town is upon us. Ten days of driving and exploring. This is what I have wanted to do since… ever, and it all starts tomorrow morning at 5am with an 11 hour drive. Which really isn’t a big deal, since we drive that to Colorado all the time.
On another note though, we got lost this week! We were on an adventure to find proper spices for my mom’s Indian food that she cooks and we got quite discombobulated on our way back. Now let’s back track a day or so…
So we’re at the mall and we want to get some lunch so we stop at this Indian food place and get some food and while we are eating my mom decides she is going to ask the woman running the counter where to get good Indian spices. She gives us the name but not the real address, right? Okay well, this spice shop, we found out, is in West Pretoria, we live in East Pretoria and West is like a 40 minute drive away and could be considered the Muslim/Arab/ Hindu quarters. Looking at a map we figured that part out but we didn’t know what it was really like down there so we go after I’ve been to the gym and I’m in my work out clothes, nothing really that revealing but my shorts we kind of short and outlandish seeing as how they are fuchsia zebra print(… haha) but yeah so we get down there and there are women in full on burqas and hijabs and I’m so embarrassed we go in the spice shop and go. So we’re trotting along following the GPS ignoring that it keeps telling us to get on the interstate and we miss our turn back to road we take so we have to back track a good 10 minutes and end up taking a back way to get there and we’re passing all these military bases and schools and it was weird.

And that my friends is all I really have for you, other than next week should be like 10 times better so don’t let this meager blog discourage you from logging on next week. Which by the way, will be posted on SUNDAY next week seeing as how I won’t be back until Saturday night next week and will more than likely not have internet. But expect pictures on Facebook… none of me bungee jumping though… I’m not doing it. Nope. Not happening. I’m going to zip like across the gorge instead. I apologize to those of you getting excited about me jumping off the world’s tallest bridge and bungee.
p.s. my puppy is in surgery today (Friday the 25th) so keep him in mind por favor, anesthesia and old puppies... not the best of friends
