Hey everyone. Once again, my blog is late. Sorry. lol. The days just fly by. It's insane to think I have already been here almost a month.

On the work front, not much new has happened. Our dialogue was pushed back from last Friday to this Friday. We were unable to find a venue for last week and, thankfully, we were able to get one last minute for this week. So, we are frantically making last minute preparations for that.

I am continuing to work on my country profiles for Beyond Ratification, and that work is a little slow coming. I certainly thought I would be done by now, but I am really taking my time trying to learn everything I can about each country.

I am also writing my articles for Making Waves. Our upcoming issue is about Women in Sport. I am currently working on writing an article about the discrepancy between media coverage on men's and women's sports.

On the food front, I am continuing to be a champ. :) I've eaten at places called Sticky Fingers (burger and fries), Cocoa Cha Chi's (amazing blended vanilla chai and good potato wedges) and Doppio Zero (calamari). I do have to say that I am not a huge fan of calamari. It had a cajun sauce that was super good, but it was really chewy and the texture kind of grossed me out. At Biscuit Mill this week, I couldn't help but have the awesome potato pancake with salmon again. I have decided that I will undoubtedly get an amazing looking omelet this Saturday, so stay tuned for how that is. :)

Saturday was National Braai Day here in South Africa. A braai (pronounced bry) is a traditional South African barbeque. I didn't really want to spend the money to go out to one of the townships, but I did end up being able to catch a ride with a couple of people and head out for free. I didn't eat anything (Biscuit Mill had filled me for the day), but we got to hang out and it was super fun. Then, on Sunday, a group of us interns went to Simon's Town and saw the penguin colony. It was incredible. Apparently, at the beginning of the 20th century, there were an estimated 1.5 million penguins. By the end of the 1900's, only 10% remained. The penguin refuge was established in 1982 from two breeding pairs. Today there are approximately 3000 penguins there. It is so peaceful and the birds are just amazing. It was definitely my favorite spot in Cape Town thus far.

Well I will try to get another update in this weekend. We'll see how that works out. The weather here is getting better by the minute. I'm almost ready to break out the shorts and phase out the jeans. Every day the sun shines a litte brighter. :)

The picture is an awesome moment I captured with two penguins playing in the water.
