Weekend Updates

Springtime is here!

Last weekend, Ian, Dave, and I had lunch with Ida Cooper, the wonderful woman who organized our housing for us. 

Ian was excited, I promise.

Saturday, we went to the District 6 Museum, a memorial space for those evicted from downtown Cape Town during apartheid. Although it was a good experience, the museum was somewhat disorganized and not entirely cohesive in its expression of District 6.

Sunday night, we headed out to Camps Bay, one of the pretty ritzy suburbs of Cape Town. At a rooftop pizzeria, we watched the sun set, and then sat on the beach until our taxi arrived around 10pm. Tough day...

Completely unrelated, but I stole some of Dave's pictures, and I'm absolutely obsessed with this one that he took on a hike up Devil's Peak. Very artsy!
