We went to Pancake Tuesday at Corpus Christi and I thought it was weird we were having pancakes and not meat or something on Fat Tuesday, only to discover that in South Africa what we call pancakes are “flapjacks” and what they call “pancakes” are actually crepes! We had Carmel and sugar and lemon! Yum! After, we went to Primi’s (a restaurant similar to Applebee’s) for Colleen’s Birthday (the first of the trip). We had been planning on pancakes for supper so we accompanied our crepes with some appetizers from Primi’s.
February 27 – 21st Birthday!
Since we don’t have class on Friday a lot of people decided to travel this weekend. On Thursday night at midnight those that hadn’t left yet had some “Jelly” aka Jell-O and then headed to Captain’s to dance. It was a lot of fun! The next day, my actual birthday, I worked on some homework, went to the grocery store and hung out with my roommates. For dinner, we went to the Mediterranean, a seafood restaurant since it was a Friday during lent. I had calamari steak with feta cheese and spinach on top and French fries! It was delicious! I also had a banana Daiquiri. And my friends, who of course paid for dinner, also surprised Brooke and me with dessert. It was a lot to eat, even for me! After dinner we came back and played some games. It was a fun day!
March 1, 2009 - Brooke’s Birthday!
We went to Nando’s for Brooke’s Dinner, which is a South African (influenced by the Portuguese) fast-food chain. We have quickly become addicted to the peri-peri sauce and it is one thing we will definitely miss at home. We went to mass on campus again and then Brooke and I went to Gondwana (most of our group were regulars, so had anticipated they would be there but apparently everyone had too much homework, so we were the only ones) where we listened to some Jazz. We went home and had everyone come to our room to sing and eat cake!
