wwwooooaaahhhhhh

We're currently sailing into Cape Town and let me just say it is THE MOST EPIC THING I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have always thought flying into Seattle was epic, but this is BEYOND epic.  Skyline along the water, a highway of clouds passing over Table Mountain and otherwise clear blue skies, I can't even describe this to you.  Google Image it, people. It's more than epic. It's magic.

Things are looking up today. With a week full of midterms and only one pubnight everyone is desperate to get off the boat.  We're running a bit beyond schedule but we should be off within two hours. Cape Town is the first port where everyone has to go face to face with an immigration official so it will take a few minutes but I don't even care, I just need to set foot on solid land. I've been making fun of people in the last two ports about freaking out when getting off the ship but now I'm right on board, or off board I should say.  Ha. I am fall over twice (while keeping my valuables close by) the second I see a street.

In other news, my hippie friend Coleman just said a chant and put oils on my foot to help it heal.  The chant wasn't really necessary but I requested it for authenticity.  At Hassan's grandmothers request I also drew a circle on the bottom of my foot because circles are very important.  If standard medicine and my lack of will power has failed me the last five years, it's time to try it the natural way and thus far it seems to be working. I'll keep you updated.

I'm going to go get dressed and sit outside and stare at Table Mountain until they let us off the boat.  I am SO. FREAKING. EXCITED. CAPE TOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
