Today was a lazy and awesome day as well, filled with lots of soccer and hanging out. After trying to figure out what to do all day, Sebastian decided that we should have a ‘Guys Night Out’ and go out to dinner, and watch the game. We went out to a seafood/sushi restaurant called Live Bait, in an area called Kalk Bay. I ordered the catch of the day with some white wine; I felt very refined getting to apply my new-found wine knowledge :) During dinner, the power randomly went out (TIA), about 15 minutes before we left. It never came back. The waiter brought over a candle, and I joked, “Is this normal?” - he didn’t respond. Oops.
After dinner, we headed out for drinks and to watch the game at a place called Cape to Cuba, which is a restaurant/bar/club that has a Cuban theme. It was really cool, and the atmosphere was nice! I snapped some interesting photos while I was there. Denmark managed to pull out a win against Ghana (sorry Noelle!) after an excellent game.
So, overall, the day was chill and relaxed, but the four of us in the house are getting to be quite the family. Sebastian is the protective German (and quickly tiring) big brother, Ryan is the witty American next-oldest, Leo is the funny Swiss guy, and I’m the energetic little kid. We make a good posse.

So today, I got to meet up with Talia from Duke! I got up early and took a train into town (I was so proud! I did it all by myself and didn’t get lost or mugged!). We met up at the station and then we headed to Long Street in downtown Cape Town where we had brunch. It was really quaint and delicious!
We then headed to her house in Tamboerskloof, which was in a nice suburb near Long Street. After meeting her roommate, we called a cab and headed to Table Mountain. We were on a mission to take the cable car to the top.
After about 30 minutes of waiting, we were finally on our way. I snapped some great pics (but none of them really do justice to the view we had) that I’ll have to post eventually. The cable car was cool because the floor rotated slowly as you went up (not enough to make you sick luckily) so you could have a view of every part of the area.
Once we were up, we took numerous photos and took advantage of a lot of Kodak moments. It truly was a breathtaking view. I then went home on the train, since it was going to be dark soon ( = unsafe ). We ended the day by watching Brazil play Ivory Coast, further proving that the referees in this World Cup are INSANE. Oh well.. More excitement to come in the next week!
