At last, I have left the Beulah Lodge! Since the Summit is over and we are not scheduled to begin our workshops until the week after next, Mike & Kristin & I got to take a little day trip to downtown Cape Town today.
We took the train, and then walked around the little market places. The African woman's market had so many beautiful handcrafted goods, like scarves and necklaces and sandals and dresses and rings and I wanted to buy everything, but I only got two things and mostly looked.
Afterwards, we went to an Ethiopian food restaurant, which was very posh, and enjoyed a platter of incredibly delicious foods, and coffee & popcorn afterwards. It felt like we were actually in South Africa, even though I know there is so much more to see that is South Africa. It felt new, and that felt exciting.
We accidentally confused our return train station, and had to walk 30 minutes back to our lodge, but fortunately, a German missionary girl on her gap year saw our peril and helped walked us through Pinelands. She gets my nomination for best person of the day! For whatever it's worth.
