Braai and Soccer

Saturday, (February 7) – Sunday (February 8) 2009
On Saturday, we had breakfast at Tiffany’s Tea Garden and then hit the beach. It was great – the majority of our group was there all with out Nelson Mandela books. We went to mass and that evening Boris’s friends invited us to a Braai, a traditional South African BBQ. (Boris is from Bosnia and has a friend who went to St. John’s and came to PE for study abroad and now lives here). We danced and socialized and the food was amazing!
On Sunday, we went to a Soccer game in the afternoon between two local teams. The security was way intense. They wouldn’t even let us bring in empty waterbottles! They also patted people down as they entered. For food they had American Foot longs! (Probably because America is one of the only countries to use foot as a type of measurement!)
That night we went to Gondwana, a bar that has a live band play Jazz music on Sunday nights. It was a really fun atmosphere.
