cool runnings

1--the name of a bar on Long Street with a sweet second-level balcony. Long Street is a fun downtown strip of bars, restaurants, and hostels that we'll definitely be hitting up in Cape Town, now that we know to stop before you get to the area where people will follow you down the street pulling on your sleeve (fist day mistake).

2--we met some friendly rastafarians outside the church in Khayelitsha yesterday.

3--this morning (actually afternoon since we actually slept in today) I went running in absolutely perfect weather. Up about 12 flights of stairs, along the base of the mountain, down to the beach, and back up along a gentle hill through Kalk Bay and St James. Then I ate an orange on my balcony overlooking the ocean. I'm possibly never leaving.

Leave it to Ash to find a great bar in Cape Town the first week! The run sounds absolutely amazing... way better than the inside of a gym!
