four-minute friday (on sunday): penguins
Go.
After a 15-hour drive, we made it to Cape Town around 8:00 last night. Niel and I each drove a vehicle full of interns, the entire way. I think we stopped to pee about 6 times (??); my friend Laura took a picture at each stop to document the moment. I’ll post some with the rest of our Cape Town pictures at the end of my trip.
We’re here till Friday for debriefing. Then the interns fly home on Sunday.
I laughed at the clumsy African penguins this afternoon. (Don’t believe me that there are penguins in Africa? I’m serious!) They are very funny to watch. Especially with our added commentary. And of course, we had to laugh that their name was changed in recent years to “African Penguin” from “Jackass Penguin“.
It felt good to laugh.
I think we’re eating tacos tonight. Mmmm…
Did you know I love Cape Town? I do. It’s my favorite place in all of South Africa. There’s city, mountains, and ocean. It doesn’t get much better than that. There’s also a place called New York Bagel that is just fantastic. And did I mention, there’s city?! Yeah, I enjoy it here.
Done.
Nothing like a little penguin mocking to brighten your day. I’m guessing that the commentary was not unlike MST3K. That would have been awesome.
I love Cape Town too. Yay.
15 hours of driving with a car full of lively people – I bet that was so fun!
I didn’t know there were penguins in South Africa! (Jackass or otherwise. ;))
Hmmmmm….. I should make tacos soon.
Love your slide show….
Sounds like you are going to have a great last week with the interns… enjoy every moment of CT… and if you need some perking up after Sunday… stop by Knysna… ahhhh, bliss… ILY!!
i hope that you soak in all the cape town your heart desires.
haha… i love penguins!
my husband and i are in the habit of calling each other animal names like pig, cow, etc…
i’m thinking that jackass penguin will add a refreshing twist.

I’m glad you got to laugh.
