Although we have tomorrow off school, I'll actually be in the library (!?) studying for a midterm Tuesday. So I'll delight you with my activities a day early:
Friday
We rented Roadtrip from the movie store and I was out by 11. Word.
Saturday
Happy birthday Charlie and Chris!
Today we started tailgating (minus the truck part... miss you, Sparky) before the 5pm Springboks vs. Wallabies game. We walked to the game and took our places in our high-class standing-room-only spots.
Lovers tailgating in the front yard
Apparently being an American girl is some kind of anomaly in the standing room section, and I was introduced (care of Brian) to several (very intoxicated) creepy old dudes who insisted on taking pictures on their cell phones with me. I felt like the working class version of Miley Cyrus.

Beyond that, the game was a blast; everyone is so loud and gets really into the cheers. We actually had the wave go around the stadium twice! In America, it's usually the drunk 60 year-old with nothing else to do with his time but have season tickets to sports events or the 4-year-old boy that tries the wave and fails. Here, everyone gets into it! I love it.
The view from our standing spots - the stadium was packed!
In other news, the Springboks won 29-17!
Sunday
Happy birthday Carter! We love birthdays at Lover's Walk...
Obviously, there's no such thing as an entirely lazy Sunday at Lover's Walk. Around 1pm, we took the train (only mildly sketchy) out to Muizenberg - a small town situated on the side of a mountain, right on the beach. Allison decided to surf with no wetsuit in water that was easily 50 degrees (F). Needless to say, I lounged in the sand with everyone else.

Wish me luck on my sociology test Tuesday!
