We got pretty friendly with these penguins that live on the beach. Aren't they cute? I have no idea how they've adapted to survive in such hot weather with all their blubber and rather sedentary lifestyle. But then again, I didn't watch March of the Penguins.
They were very friendly creatures but this was about as close as I could get =)
We also saw some of these beaver-like animals in the bushes.
Here's me with Martha, another staff member on our team. She's from Uganda and has two crazy little boys, Loren and Caleb. It was her first time ever going to the beach so we made her get her feet wet.
This is The Waterfront of Capetown. You can take ferry rides from here to Robben Island, where opponents of apartheid including Nelson Mandela were exiled and imprisoned. In the background is Table Mountain (supposedly very famous here). The cloud is like a tablecloth, get it?
Wow, I'm really far from home. =(
Here's Grant and Rodney, the youngest members of our team. They're technically called junior staff because they aren't students but are helping out. Grant's mom is one of our school leaders. Aren't they good-looking boys?
Here's Audrey, Luana, and myself (taking the pic) romantically dining over the waterfront.
