  1. Went to Starbucks for an iced coffee (South Africa makes you a frappacino when you ask for iced coffee)
  2. Visited the best pizzeria in Boston, Upper Crust. Cape Town’s DaVinci’s is great, but man it has nothing on these guys.
  3. Stared out the window at all the white people.
  4. Looked the wrong way for a minute when I was trying to cross the street.
  5. Walked around after dark just to do it.
  6. Used up obscene amounts of bandwidth because it doesn’t cost me anything now (though had we been on a proper uncapped plan in SA, I suppose that wouldn’t have been so bad).

I’ve got a few more things on my list to do – I’ll probably guzzle some ketchup (too sweet/watery in South Africa), eat peanut butter (they add sugar to it there), and try to hail a minibus taxi only to realize that they don’t exist here. I’m so glad to be back, but I kind of can’t believe I’m not in Cape Town. I keep getting the urge to type in present tense when referring to the city, or when explaining it to friends in the US using “here” instead of “there.” Ah, what a wonderful city. Pictures and posts over the next week when I get the urge to do it. For now, I’m off to use bandwidth.

Top 6 things we have done since you left:

1) Turned in your paper
2) Spread “clothes” all over your bed
3) Put up a Gumtree ad for moving in another DJ into the house
4) Wild night at T-roof
5) Roy told us he is happy to know you will be taking his music international
6) Made a obscene amount of, “where is Ezra?” Jokes]

Much love,
