8/21/2010

Today we had a pretty relaxing day. We were supposed to climb Mt. Currie today with a group of boys from church, but it was re-scheduled due to a last-minute school fundraiser (yes, another one). We were supposed to be able to sleep in this morning, but, like every morning we are able to get a little more sleep, the dogs come and start barking right next to our windows. So sleeping in meant 7 instead of the usual 6. After hanging up our laundry, we went to town to see some of the pavement shops and to visit a couple of stores that Allen and Gloria wanted to take us to. It was very interesting to see the variety of items that you can buy on the pavement here. Later this evening, we went to have tea with a family from church. They were very nice. We had a lot of fun talking with them about the differences between the US and South Africa.
This is one of the little shops on the pavement.
Allen and Gloria took us to this little cafe for lunch.
The owner of the cafe is a Christian. This is the bottom of the menu.


If you look back to the pictures of my trip to China, you will see a picture of some of the food I had to eat. A lot of people have been asking us if we have had to eat anything really weird, so we thought we would take a picture of our lunch that we had at the cafe today. It is a cinnamon and sugar pancake (aka crepe) with glazed apples :)

This is the family that we went and had tea with today.
