Due to a national conference for Black Sash I was not able to start my internship like everyone else. So tomorrow is my first day of internship which I am really excited for. Since I didn't have my intern I was able to go climb Lions Head Mountain which is part of the Table Mountain range. It was a really cool mountain to climb because there were parts where climbers have to go up chains and climb up rocks. Also at the top I met a pretty serious Capetonian hiker that told me about a really good trail to go up Table Mountain which we climbed up on Saturday. I am looking forward to going back to this mountain again at night when there is a full moon out. On Saturday most of the group hiked up Table Mountain which was one of my favorite experiences since we arrived. I have always loved climbing mountains and the view from the top of Table Mountain overlooking the city and ocean was amazing. What was also cool about the hike was almost half of it was just walking over the ridge of the mountain which is a great experience because it is not strenuous and there is a great view the entire time.
On Friday I had two new experiences at the beach. Fist of all when we got there and when we were leaving no one was allowed in the water because of sharks spotted near by. Secondly I had my first experience surfing. Although I was not that good I definitely want to go back and try it out again.
I think one of my favorite activities that we consistently do is cooking dinner. I have never had to cook dinner all the time and was pretty nervous about having to start, but we have had a fun time trying it out every night. On Thursday we all participated in making Taco Thursday. We invited Vernon over and he was kind enough to tell us his interesting life story after eating some tacos.
This past week had a lot of exciting activities but I am really looking forward to start my internship tomorrow morning.
