My luggage still hasn't arrived, however, they say it will "be here" tomorrow. Alrie's boyfriend (where we will be staying with) in Cape town is going to pick it up when it arrives. Today was absolutely gorgeous it was 26 degrees celcius here and we spent a few hours at the beach nearby (like 10 minutes from Alrie's house). We were also able to workout a bit, which felt wonderful. The people here are so nice and accomadating. They are so relaxed compared to Americans and no one is stressed, which is unheard of in America or at least to me while in nursing school lol. There is no hustle and bustle, except for the driving. South Africans are horrible drivers! To add to that comment Alrie's small truck "Daisy" tried to throw me out today. We were driving and while we turned a corner, the door swung wide open and it was absolutely hysterical because I almost fell out!To make it worse it is opposite of America.
I have started to pick up on the language here that is call Afrikans. They have little sayings and it makes for a joke whenever we discover something new. Like today while driving Alrie said I hardly ever run red robots?! aka I never run red lights. Or going to the lou (toliet) Tomorrow morning we are leaving for Cape town and the World Cup Equitation Show, and I am very excited to see Braveheart(the most famous Saddlebred in S. Africa). Until then take care and God Bless!! XOXO
