So I decided to make cookies last week and discovered that my cookie sheet was too long and wide for our oven so the oven door was cracked while the cookies baked. Surprisingly the cookies turned out fantastic!! They were gooey on the inside while crispy on the outside! The reality of school has finally set in :( I like the whole study abroad part just minus the study part hahaha. On Saturday I hiked Table Mountain with some friends, it was more of vertical climb. It was sunny at the base but it was cloudy at the peak. We were trying to climb Devil's Peak but once we got up into the clouds we could not tell were our path went so we just followed it and we ended up on Minor's Peak. I don't know why they call it Minor's Peak, it was a extremely tough climb!! At one point we were climbing up the side of the mountain going from rock to rock. But the clouds started to clear off and the view of Cape Town was beautiful. We ended up hiking for 6 hours!! We walked into Cape Town from UCT!!!!! The PRIDE pradae and festival was going on so we thought we would drop by and see what was going on. I have never seen so many men with 6 packs walking around in sparkly, glitterly, colorful speedos in my life. That night we went to see the Stormers (Cape Town) versus the Sharks (Durban) in rugby. Rugby is a man's sport and puts football to shame!! It is A. full of manly men, B. they don't stop every 30 secs like in football, C. they don't wear tons of padding and D. they get tackled and keep on playing!! The Stormers ended up winning!!!(YAY) Then on Sunday, some of us road the train to Kalk Bay. On the train ride there were lots of children dancing for money and I can honestly say that dancing on a moving train is a talent. Kalk Bay is a cute town on the water that has tons of really cool hippie-like shops and antique shops. Not to mention they had ice cream cones that were dipped in chocolate or caramel. delish!!
