Sea Port


 Around 6:00 pm on Friday, the outgoing volunteer group, Stephanie, and I went to Sea Port.  Sea Port is another area of down town Cape Town.  The outgoing volunteer group wanted to take out one of the volunteers before she leaves South Africa.  We stopped by the boardwalk.  It was dark, but I could still see the waves crash against the black, ragged rocks.  The air smelled of salt and fish.  Soon, we found our way back to Cedar’s a nearby Lebanese restaurant.  The food and South African wine was delicious.  We ate plates of falafel, pita, spiced eggplant, cabby, tuboli, and Hummus. Several of the volunteers also enjoyed a Hookah at the end of their meal.  The group seemed to have a great farewell dinner. 
            After a long dinner, I was dragged to Long Street.  Long Street is the down town area with many dance clubs and bars.  I observed a number of western tourists buying expensive alcohol and dancing in clubs.  After a few hours, I was very happy to get back to the home base.
