Weekenders

I went with some friends into Cape Town on Saturday. There’s this little market called the Old Biscuit Mill, which is, shockingly enough, at an old biscuit mill. There was tons of good food and I ended spending way to much money on bread, cheese, pesto and other delicious goodies! There was this one guy selling raw organic chocolate that he had made. It was amazing. Raw chocolate tastes very different from the chocolate we’re normally used to. It is a lot richer and his kind was sweetened with agave nectar and coconut oil. I can’t wait to bring Mom there; she’s going to love it! After the market we went to Green Point stadium, where some of the 2010 World Cup games will occur. It is still under construction, so we didn’t get to go in, but it looks like it’s going to be gorgeous. There was even a performance by the “janitor” that gave us into the history of that area and a little bit about Cape Town in general! Then Sunday, I hiked up Stellenbosch Mountain…for real this time. I made it all the way to the top and had a nice, if excessively long, chat with a philosophy PhD student when I reached the top! I guess sometimes you need to tell your life's story to a random stranger, but I know I've never got that urge.
