Along with three other girls, I was in Cape Town the past few days. This weekend in there left me completely speechless. I absolutely loved it. It was amazing because, as large as the city was and for as many stores and buildings there were, you could drive a little and end up at Table Mountain or at Cape Point or the Cape of Good Hope.
On Friday we went to Cape Point. I honestly have never seen something so beautiful in my life. To be up so high and to see God's creation from that viewpoint. The green-blue ocean water, the cliffs, the animals. It was magnificent. The best way we could find to describe it would be take the scenery from The Chronicles of Narnia movie, add it with the scenery from Lord of the Rings, and multiply it. It was that beautiful and pictures don't do it any justice.
Saturday we were Americans and went to the mall in town. They had a Subway, not going to lie, I was really excited! :-D
On Sunday, we chose to take the cableway up Table Mountain to see the sunset. We drove up to the lower cableway where you get on, and even there I was just in awe of everything around me. The view was amazing, nature was beautiful, the ocean fascinating. I don't know how anyone could possibly deny God if they saw that! When we got to the top, I was left with fewer words (the fact that it was so cold I could see my breath, and I was wearing shorts, didn't help, but that didn't even matter)! To see the sunset from one of the top places to see in the world, one of the most beautiful I have seen in my life, was breathtaking! I feel like I'm being very repetitive here, but I honestly don't know what more to say! It was one of the most amazing things ever!
On a different note, this semester is coming to a close. I have this week and next week left of ministry, then a final week of debrief before Christmas break! That leaves only three days at Algoa, four days at Virginia's creche, and two days left painting in Daniel's workshop. Time has flown by so quickly!
