Breakfast of choice: lekka wors from Wimpy
Grahamstown (Ght - according to Will, not G-town) is been pretty chill so far. The college lifestyle here has officially begun with drunken parties and lots more young people milling around. You just have to watch out none of the broken glass from smashed beer bottles gets in your sandals. Plus, the occasional aluminum car door piercing bass heard outside our house at odd hours of the night.
Other discoveries from town:
Best internet connection is at a cafe called Revelations. Although it is strange how many people there don't eat or drink but Skype or email for hours. It is a collection of foreigners ( US, UK, Canada, Spaiñ, Canadia, etc.)
There is a free outdoor swimming pool on campus. [Free to us, anyway -WB]. Will and I went swimming sorta. He swam probably three times more than I did. The water was clean and cool. Wonderful to take advantage of before more students arrived.
Ultimate (frisbee) can be found tuesday and thursday at the Great Field. Will and I played a short game before quiz night. We will be going back soon.
Lightening storms are frequent and intense at night after a cold front comes up from Antarctica. One power outage so far. The storms are a bit scary but usually short.
As long as there is power, I have been cooking on our two hot plates. I think the crepes are my favorite so far. I wish we had better pots and an oven, but maybe next month it will happen.
We are also enjoying the food here in Grahamstown. Mangoes are delicious here. [The photo fails to convey precisely how amazingly and overwhelmingly delícioso they are -WB]
Will and I are happy to be in Grahamstown. We are enjoying the atmosphere and learning more about the area each day. [Damn straight. -WB]
