I decided to upload a couple videos instead of blogging. Here is just a video update.
And here is a video taken from the Rhodes Memorial on the slopes of Devil's Peak just up from the University of Cape Town campus.
Some other things from Day 2
- Had an amazing breakfast at the guest house where I am staying. Fresh fruit, papaya juice, homemade granola, bacon and eggs, mushrooms and toast. Skipped lunch as a result
- Learned (from the Sunday paper) that Jacob Zuma, the South African president for the last year, is a polygamist and it was just announced that he has fathered his 20th child, this one out of wedlock.
- Talked politics and cultural differences with an English couple staying at the guest house
- Received my rental car, a tiny red car, check out the picture on Facebook
- Got reacquainted with driving on the left side of the road as well as driving a standard transmission
- Took some amazing pictures of the University of Cape Town campus before I realized that I forget to put the sim card back in the camera. Very disappointing!
- Practiced my talk a couple times, feeling comfortable with the delivery, although it is running a few minutes long
- Ate pizza for dinner, was remarkably good, with a slight twist (sweeter sauce and whole olives)
- Watched the India vs. South Africa 1-day cricket match. Started at noon and ended around 9:00 pm. Wow, and Diana thought that baseball games were long. India won by one point (298 - 297). And no, I did not watch the whole thing, just the end
- All in all, a good, long day. And now I am ready for bed!
