Kirstenbosch

On Sunday afternoon I met up with some of my new friends and took in some music at the Kirstenbosch gardens. The Kirstenbosch gardens are native gardens (I believe) that are located just up the road from my aunt's house and 20 minutes from downtown. They are situated at the bottom of Table Mountain National Park and are on a slope. There is a huge grassy area that has a large stage at the bottom and which overlooks a chunk of Cape Town (beautiful when it is dark and all the city lights are shining!) There are summer concerts held here every Sunday and we were able to catch the last one of the season. The music wasn't that great but the view and the company was great. It is tradition to bring a big picnic blanket, wine and snacks. We had it all die to the leftovers from Lyska's birthday party the night before. Lyska is my aunt's god daughter and we are cut from a similar cloth. Unfortunately, she heads of for New Zealand this week for 6 months so we won' t be able to hang out. She introduced me to some of her amazing friends though, whom I am hoping to hang out with while I am here.  

Although no friends can replace all of you fabulous people that I know at home. 

Love to you all!
