So far the weather here in Cape Town has been unbeatable! There's no way this is really their winter. If it is I'm moving here ASAP. A couple days ago four friends and I decided to take advantage of the sun and go on a hike up the side of Table Mountain. We hiked to this place called the memorial and then even higher to a lookout called the box house. Although it was a definite trek, the view made it worth it. At the top there was a more than 180 degree view of all of Cape Town!

I'm obsessed with the trees here. They are so unique.

All the locals thought we were crazy for going to the beach in winter, but we didn't mind. Clearly we had the right idea because about 15 CIEE kids ended up at the same beach! I definitely want to go back there once the water warms up and try some surfing!

My favorite part of the beach - colorful shacks (I think they were changing rooms) that lined the entirety of Muizenberg!
