Acclimating

Cape town, day 2. Fog rolls in thick and stays all day. The  rock in the clouds, Table Mountain, peaks out from time to time, reminding us to appreciate the seen and unseen all around.

The Cape is known for fog and rain, both of which we are expected to have for days to come. We are starting to slide in to the rhythm of the Cape, ducking under overhangs during the rain flurry's, and learning the street names. We used our first Combe today, the minivan taxi that costs 5 Rand (75 cents) per trip, that cram people in, shouting all the while for more people to get in, more stops to make. The combes feel real, although we are aware of our presence in the van, the people laugh and talk, never looking for more than a second in our direction. The stadium is a short walk from our hostel, and everywhere you can see soccer fever. We bought our first vevusuelu today! They are the official noise makers of South Africa which we plan to make god use of soon. Perhaps tomorrow we will hike the mountain, if weather permits. We will keep you posted.

Sending love.
