10 Miles.

Last week of classes for me and then I finally get into the class I came here to take. This week my two Xhosa classes have been cancelled and one of my Apartheid classes. I had a mentoring session this morning to discuss how our volunteering has been going and now I am sitting in the library trying to do research for my paper due on Thursday, which I am not worried about at all. Yesterday was Sunday and it began with a 10 mile run at 7am. Becca and I ran down to Kings Beach and back then we did our normal loop of about 3 miles. It got really hot so fast once the sun was up over the horizon. There are so many people out training for the Iron Man that is held here in about two weeks. They actually started setting up for it down by the beach too, I am so excited to watch! On our run, I saw a bunch of people looking out towards the sea so I grabbed Becca by the shirt and pulled her to a stop. It was the coolest most beautiful thing I have ever seen. We watched as about 50 plus dolphins swam parallel to the beach front. They were close enough that you could see them individually and most of them were jumping. It was amazing! The people who were out swimming for the Iron Man were right in the middle of the pack along with some kayakers. Becca wanted to run out there and swim with them. After our run we got ready and headed to the beach were we laid out all day and I fell asleep three times. Later on Chelsea met me across from the beach and we went to the Sunday market down by Kings Beach. We rode out bikes there, but people had already started packing up. We missed a lot of good shops, but we decided we should go back another Sunday because everything is super cheap! I already know what I am getting everyone for back at home. Today is Patrick's birthday so we are throwing him a sort of surprise party, but it is more like a surprise dinner of tacos (since they are so easy to make). Cheers!!!
