Just finished up another weekend full of adventure! Friday our group went into Cape Town for an art installation called "Infecting the City." We basically watched a bunch of different art performances which depicted the past and present struggles of South Africa.

Then on Saturday we went floating down the Breede River with the Stellenbosch Canoeing Society. We were given a blow up canoe, two oars, and a cooler of beer and told to meet down the river at the camp site. None of us have really canoed before and it showed! We ended up losing most of our belongings (including our oars) on one of the small rapids we had to go through. Instead of going over the rapids, our boat got stuck on a large rock in the middle of the river. We all fell out and everything got swept away. We have some pretty bad bruises from being dragged along the rocks but we all survived. That night we had to camp along the river. The society made us some traditional African stew for dinner and then we all sat around the campfire. I have never seen more stars in my life. It is incredible what you can see when there are no city lights around.

Well, I am hoping for a relaxing week after the intense canoeing/camping trip. We have a Maties Rugby match tomorrow and then next weekend we are hiking Table Mountain so I need to prepare for that!
