How To Live Like a Rockstar When You are Not One...
April 28 It took me forever to get my things together this morning. But, that was sort of a convenience as I was waiting on wet clothes to continue drying. The idea of arriving in London two days later and unzipping my backpack to pull out soggy clothes seems pretty unpleasant. [su_quote]It is my hair, and I can decide who cuts it.[/su_quote]Dani and I hung out for the day and went to a shopping mall in search of a haircut...
April 27 Dani was moving at 08:00 so I pulled myself totally out of a slumber as well to get ready for the day. Big idea – Hiking up Table Mountain – the geological and spiritual heart of Capetown. We had plans to meet Dani’s friends at 10:00 to conquer the mountain on foot, but it started raining which put out everyone’s fires. However, I needed to see it so I just took the cable car up the mountain for...
April 25 I feel like I am turning into a jerk. I do not mean to be, but my honesty is for sure more than most people are used to. Maybe it is more than most people can handle. I often feel guilty after I have said something so profoundly honest, and I wish I would not because it is just honesty, but people usually mean well. But, any tolerance I have for small errors in being a reasonable person...
April 24 Dani and I went out for breakfast and I indulged in a chocolate fudge cheesecake milkshake to start the day. It is not exactly the cornerstone of nutrition, but it was damn good! I do not regret it. Because I barely interacted with white people for the past six months, I forget about things we do, like growing really stupid mustaches that twirl and curl at the ends. I saw a man with such a stache at the breakfast...
April 23 I slept really well in my reclining bus seat and did not even wake up until 08:30. Sweet! A good night of rest… Those are rarities right now. Around 14:30, the bus pulled into Capetown, approximately 0:45h ahead of schedule. Weird. Not African style at all! I sent a message to my friend Dani B who I spent two years working with in London to tell her that I was an early arrival. She sent me a message...
April 22 I was up at 05:30 to get to the Fish River Canyon viewpoint before sunrise. On the drive, a herd of zebras ran across the small roadway in front of me. Africa is special… The Fish River Canyon is the second biggest canyon in the world after the Grand Canyon in Arizona. I now have seen them both and Fish River is equally beautiful. The colors are magnificent. And the depth of the canyon, cut by the river…incredible. ...
