On
Friday morning I had the incredible opportunity to see Archbishop Desmond
Tutu at St. George's Cathedral. We went to the short service he helped give (he
gave us communion too)! I almost didn't go because I didn't know much about him
or his work and I didn't feel qualified to meet him. But I'm so glad I went,
and I definitely want to look more into his work now. During the service I was
just thinking, we're all human beings here who can go in lots of different
directions with our lives, yet he is someone who did so much and made such a
huge impact. Yet here we all are, all human beings in the same room. It's crazy
thinking of it that way.
This
weekend I also went to the Of Monsters and Men concert with several other
people on the trip. It was so much fun! Kirstenbosch Gardens is a lovely venue
too. I was so glad to get to see a band I like (for much cheaper than in the US
too).
On
Sunday, Elizabeth, Amelia, and I went to World of Birds. It was so cool, I
absolutely loved it!! My parents love birds so I was taking a ton of photos to
show them later. There were so many birds along with other kinds of animals.
There's this one designated monkey area where monkeys can crawl on you, and
it's so funny. We also saw goats, honey badgers, alpacas, penguins, turtles,
many kinds of parrots and owls, etc. It was really really cool!
