The sun is gone, but I have a light.

So I want to become a little bit more lighthearted and fun within this post, especially after the emotional roller coaster of the last one. Question is....how do we do that? Well lets start off with a little bit of South African comedy shall we?

So now that we have all enjoyed a good laugh, lets take a step back and talk. How have you been? Oh you don't say? She did what? That bitch! How dare she, if I was you I would........Whoa whoa whoa that conversation we just had got really out of hand quickly. How about I just let you know whats been going on here in beautiful Cape Town and shoot you some pics.

So funny thing about Cape Town, it doesn't really seem like they celebrate Christmas to much here. I can walk into any store at any moment and not be bombarded with this, this or especially scenes like this. I go back and forth if I like this or not. On one hand I have some pretty good friends to hang out with, with a pretty open mind on doing whatever I feel like doing that day. If I want to go to the beach and tan, I can do that (Did i mention its hot, because if I didn't then this man certainly did).

If I want to lay out by my pool and eat copious amounts of Chinese and pizza, well sir pass the chicken fried rice. Cage Shark diving, Garden Route Trip, Surf lessons, Ostrich riding, Big Game Safari, all of it open to me. The only thing that isn't though might be what I miss most right now, tradition. I miss lights on Christmas Eve, or "All I want for Christmas is you" on the radio. I miss movie marathons showing "Elf", "A Christmas Story", "Love Actually" or my favorite "Die Hard". While its cool to have all these different options open to you, sometimes you just want what you already have every so often. Weird huh?

Now this isn't to say I'm not going to have fun and enjoy myself. On the contrary, it is going to be....wait for it....LEGENDARY! Anyways, here are some pictures from the last few weeks of activities, including my day at Clifton Beach today. While you guys are all slaving away in the cold, snow, sleet and rain.....its prime tanning time to me. I even do my tanning like my friends from the waterfront now.....
