October Occurrences

The following is a series of events that have transpired between the farewell dinner of October 17^th and October 23^rd.

Swimming in Arcticly cold water at Clifton Beach. There are four beaches and I’m not sure which one it was specifically… it wasn’t the one for nudists or the one for gays, so one of the other two, just to be clear.

Hiking with Scotty, Natty, Dave, Natalie, and Grace at Silvermine. In the mountains above Muizenberg and Kalk Bay is this awesome hiking/climbing/bouldering spot where we spent the day jumping around on rocks and climbing stone objects. Followed by crashing a book signing with free wine… hey, you can’t be handing out free wine and not expect a few sweaty hikers to show up for a few bevs and leave before the reading part.

Walking to Claremont for the worst haircut of my life and then bowling with Ben, Grace, and Judy. I was obviously the worst of the group, although to be fair the place didn’t have bowling shoes so I was tossing gutter balls in Birkenstocks. Typical. The previous evening (yes, I went bowling two days in a row… weirdo) I set a personal bowing record of 102… triple digits baby!

Tweaking on top of Grace as the Moon Rises over CT

Another sunset hike of Lions Head and the final full moon of my time in Africa. Once again really beautiful views and a bit sketchy climbing down in the dark without flashlights. I know I must sound really cool and fearless… it’s true.

epic.
