Public Holiday and Weekend

This past Thursday was a public holiday so we had the day off from school.  I started off the day with some shopping and baking.  I combined three recipes online to make cape gooseberry upside down cupcakes.  I bought the cape gooseberries in the grocery store earlier that week because I'd never seen them before and thought I should try something new.  Turns out I don't really like them plain.  So I had to do something with them.  The cupcakes actually turned out really well!  Later that day I went to lunch with all my supervisees (Catherine, Eliza, and Alice, a new supervisee from Zambia) to talk about our experiences and about behaviour analysis.  So awesome!  Later that evening I went to Cath and Li's brother's girlfriend's house for a braai (BBQ).  We had steak, boerewors, spare rib, corn on the cob, potato salad, coleslaw, and mushrooms.  Delicious!

Yesterday I went for a hike in the Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve.  I've been there before but I really enjoy the hike where you get to see the city skyline.  Plus I got to see antelope and wildebeest as well!

Today I just got some errands done, but with the passport photos I had to take to renew my international driver's license, I got a free passport holder so I can pretend I'm from South Africa!  Awesome souvenir, plus it was free!

Free souvenir!

Also my friends and boyfriend are arriving next week and we're going to go on an amazing SA holiday!  There will be plenty of posts about it but not for a while.  Don't expect a post before April 9th at the earliest, but most likely not until that following weekend.
