Last week in Cape Town

As of today, I will officially be leaving Cape Town in one week. I knew it was going to go by fast when I got here, but really…I’m leaving already? I don’t really have much planned for my last week, which is how I wanted it to be really. The only things I still need/want to do are go to Simon’s Town to see the penguins and do all of my souvenir shopping.

Tonight we’ll probably go out with some of the people from Milton and say goodbye (blegh…I wish we could skip that part though), then tomorrow we’re going to Long Street to a pub called the Dubliner for St. Patty’s day. I’m mostly just looking forward to tomorrow night cos I’m sure it will be pretty crazy.

I’m working all this week, and I have to put together everything I’ve done and send it to Carly. We’re also planting our garden this week and today I helped to dig one of the trenches (they plant in trench beds here since the soil is hard and there isn’t a lot of water). I’m really excited to get to help with that this week and it’s a good way to finish my time here! I really can’t believe it’s just about done though!

Cape Town has been absolutely amazing and it would be a very, very easy place to live for longer. I’m going to miss the sushi (I’m a little bit embarrassed about how much sushi I’ve eaten here), the hikes, the sun, the culture, but most of all the people.
