Tuesday we hit our local favorite coffee shops for some cooperative paper writing and did some exciting grocery stopping. Then we went to a great restaurant called 5 Flies- no insects of any kind, though.
Wednesday afternoon I was stuck in class until five, so Sean took out my mom for a lovely walk and lunch at the Rhodes Memorial. I’ve enlisted him as a guest blogger for this event.
After eagerly watching Liz eat her lunch before heading off to class, her mom and I headed up the short yet steep pathway up to the Rhodes Memorial. Tucked just a little away from Upper Campus, the memorial turned out to be a beautiful sanctuary – lovely old classical building, surrounded by pristine nature and luckily just far enough from highways and main roads that the noise didn’t travel up there even in the slightest. Hopefully Liz and I will be back there as the weather gets nicer for some outdoor studying. Anyway... there’s a single outdoor restaurant up behind the memorial, featuring a seriously overpriced dinner menu but a rather reasonable lunch menu. We sat, chatted, and enjoyed some excellent and highly recommended food while scanning the surroundings for some elusive zebra. Unfortunately all we found were some very noisy birds. After lunch we decided to walk around the very beginnings of a few trails – we had some time to kill before picking up a rental car for the next day, but certainly weren’t up for too much physical exertion. All in all, they were some ok paths.
Full from lunch and tired from the walking, Liz’s mom and I bused over to Rondebosch to pick up the rental car (a success) and subsequently picked up Liz from her class on Middle Campus. As Liz now rejoins the story, my tour of duty as guest blogger is now at an end.
