the week was a good week with the kids. the routine is really falling into place during the week even with the addition of two new volunteers, Floris and Eddie, from Amsterdam and Maui respectively. We spent the week at the school doing the math program and then also working with some new 6th graders with the swim/surf program. Because they are new to the program there are only 4 students out of the 40 that know how to swim, we basically only did 1 surf lesson this week and the rest were all swimming. then comes the weekend.
on friday the norwegians, the sophie's and i did a wine tour of the south african cape wineries. sooo beautiful and sooo fun and left us all feeling pretty happy after 6 wineries in only a few hours. But oh my god it was so much fun because it was just us. then we were dropped of in the beautiful university town of stellenbosch, which is where i plan on moving to and living in as soon as i can. we met up with our body boarder friends after taking a mid-day nap at our hostel. the night started off great, dancing our away all of our wine induced sleepy mode. however somewhere in the midst of all the fun i must have donated my iphone (what i use as my camera most importantly) to the thieves of stellenbosch. i must say i am more than upset and would have posted a ton of beautiful pictures of wine tastings, towering moutains, and happy times in crowded bars, but alas, no dice, no pictures. hopefully i will get another camera soon. hopefully soon. in the list of good decisions i made last night, i wore flip flops ("pluckies" as they are called here) to the dance club... today with the help of german sophie and others we fished out a couple shards of glass out the bottom of my feet. disaster move on my part. whatever. taking it easy and watching movies with the volunteers tonight at salty's with burgers and tea in hand. all's well that ends well
