Safely Sound

Sebastien and I officially arrived at our destination of Cape Town, South Africa yesterday afternoon(alright, alright - I am a little slow in posting). Our new housemate, Ryan, came to the airport to pick us up and drove us around the entire peninsula, showing us some pretty amazing vistas (photos to follow). He showed us the "lang kir" (very cool) places to hang out along the coast, and showed us where we can get fresh seafood while sitting on a rock, with waves lapping onto our feet. That does sound lang kir to me. We came home, unpacked a bit, showered, and headed out again to have beers aboard a yacht and then sushi with quite an interesting crew. It was Ryan's father's birthday, and his friends held an impromptu party on this beautiful little (hah!) yacht, with everything covered in bubble wrap, cardboard and tape. The next morning the crew of three men sailed off for Florida to sell the boat. A pretty crazy first day. We both slept soundly, let me tell you.
