Rainy Monday

Hello all.
For those of you who've been asking, I am somewhat recovered from my cold, although it's still hanging on. The extremely rainy weather today and yesterday ptobably didn't help. So where did I leave off... Jenny and I went for a drive along Chapman's Peak on Satrurday, which is along a cliff and probably one of the most scenic areas. We took abuot a hundred pictures. After that we headed through Noordhoek and got some info so that we can go horseback riding later in the trip. Then we headed down to Simon's Town and Boulder Beach to see the penguins. They make these insane loud sounds like donkeys. All the baby penguins were loosing their baby feathers and it basically looked like they were all afflicted with some sort of horrible disease. We stayed in Saturday night as we were a little tired from driving around so much (actually just Jenny doing the driving. I'm in charge of teh radio :) ). On Sunday morning we picked up Kende and went to Denise's house, which is where Jenny used to board before she moved in to this house. She made us this gigantic brunch. Afterwards, the three of us headed out to the craft market at Greenpoint. I picked up quite a few things (yay presents). It started to rain while we were there, which made for a good negotiating point as people probably weren't going to sell that much. We got a little wet, but it was fun. Sunday evening Jenny and I went down to the waterfront (the part that's indoors) as it was pouring rain. Today we stayed in for a while as it was still pouring (and when I say pouring I mean the rain is actually flying in all directions and you can barely see anything). Then we headed down to the waterfront and went to the Two Oceans Aquarium, which was amazing. We got to see the seals being fed and all kinds of wildlife. We went over to Long St. for a while to check out some stores, but now we're up at campus to get some time online. We're going to be headed out on a little road trip tomorrow up to Clanwilliam (along the West Coast) and coming back on Friday. Hopefully lots of you will post messages in the meantime!!! I just sent out a bunch of postcards, but I need some other addresses. Dad could you send me yours (or Jo or Annie) and can someone from MCCS send me the address to the call centre? How was the concert Annie? Jo- sorry I can't bring you any wine. We're limited to how much we can bring into the country and I'm using my allowance for me! Val- any updates on plans to be in the UK?

Hey there radio operator!
Been getting into Samuel Hearne's trip.Good so far. I'm at 2-15 Evergreen Ave. N6J 1A6. Those penguins don't sound like I'd imagined at all. london went hockey mad last night. Was like the stanley cup was won. Horns honking , people out partying till all hours. London beat Rimouski (Junior hockey)for the 1st time ever winning the Memorial cup.They had the Stanley cup on display at the Covent Garden Market, was neat to see.We had a vicous thunder storm that rolled through here Saturday night, so hard it broke a window in the loft. Jess's birthday over the weekend, sounds like she had a good time. Rusty spained his back leg running so hard friday night , so he's slowed down a bit. Maybe you could recommend some wines that the vinters suggest,and we could find them here. Keep having a great time. Love ya

The weather here has been pretty brutal and it's only been warming up the past few days. Hopefully it'll be nice by the time you get back.

Hey Caitlin,
Yup, I sent that letter to the states the day after you left. And sent the rent cheques last week.
I went to Barrie to meet Jason's family last weekend - a bit of an experience, especially since his dad's entire family had also come to visit. Anyway, I'll tell you about it when you get back. (Lola was not too happy with me, but James and James took care of her and I made sure to pet her alot when I got home).
Keep the updates coming!
