First day in Cape Town





Arrived in Cape Town yesterday at about 11:30 am took a shuttle from the airport to UCT for R180~$30 and checked in at Fuller Hall for the night. I stayed in the room that is the 10th window from the left in the building on the left side of the image. Yesterday I tried to stay up as long as possible, by going into town to an internet cafe and grabbing dinner at a grocery store on main st. Ended up passing out at 6:30 pm after laying down for the first time in 36 hours.
Today I ate lunch with a group of 100 10th grade students from 20 different schools in the largest Township in Cape Town. They were at UCT to see what university life is like and maybe have a chance at continuing their education. Everyone in my program arrives today so it will be interesting to see how exhausted I probably looked yesterday. Its 70 degrees and beautiful here!
