Days Before School

Since my arrival I've done quite a few things. On Sunday morning we went to church. The service took place in a school theatre. I met a lot of new people, whose names I already forgot. In the beginning of the service, the pastor introduced me to the whole church and welcomed me to South-Africa, which was very nice of him, but a bit awkward. After the service, there were donuts and drinks, and we talked with a few of Loren's friends. Also, I met a Dutch couple who had been living in Cape Town for 15 years. It felt weird speaking Dutch to someone again. After church, we went to Llandudno beach, with Loren's family. The weather was very good. In Cape Town there are two oceans coming together, a cold one and a warm one. Llandudno was located where the cold ocean was, and I swam in it. It was as cold as the North Sea, or maybe even colder. We had a picknick on the beach with African food, which was very good. I ate pies with chicken in it, which is a typical South-African dish. Around 3 o'clock we left the beach to go to the Waterfront, which is a big mall. We went to the iStore to see if my iPhone could be fixed and then we had frozen yoghurt. After the Waterfront we went to Lauren Lester's house for a get together with all the exchange families. We had dinner there, and then we went home. It was a busy, but nice day.

On Monday, Lauren Lester invited us to come to her house and hang out with a few of her friends. It was a lot of fun, and I met many nice people. Also, the exchange girls from Chile were there. We were picked up by Loren's mom around 15:30 and we had dinner at home for the first time.
Today, we went to school to pick up books for Loren. Herschel is a beautiful school and Loren and her friend showed me around. I'm actually excited to go to school, which is weird. I also got my uniform today.
