Day 1 in Cape Town, South Africa

Sunday morning we woke up and had breakfast at 09:30, which was weird because back home my Sunday is playing tennis from 06:30 to 9:00, then going home and cleaning up for church at Cedar Park. We all ate well and then headed out to the Waterfront Wharf, a really nice collection of shopping mall, restaurants, curio shops, specialty shops and tours. We browsed, got some money at the ATM, ate some traditional English fish and chips, then headed back to the hotel for an afternoon nap. It was heavenly!

For dinner we went back to the Waterfront to a Greek restaurant in a private room with a flat screen TV where we watched the finals of the tournament here in South Africa for soccer. The irony was that it was being played where we lived from 1979-1981 (Johannesburg), and the match up was the USA (where we are citizens and live) vs. Brazil (where we lived from 1999-2001). It was really fun, and even though the USA did not win, losing to the Brazilians is never a reason for shame! Although the final score was 2-3, it should have been 2-4 as one bad call by the referee took away a goal for the Brazilians.

By the time the game was over and the great dinner was consumed, we headed back to bed and collapsed!
