Falling in Love with the Eastern Cape

Just this past weekend I had my first field trip. The Botany 102 class and myself went down to Boknes (a small coastal town just past Cannon Rocks, a little further down from Kenton if you don't know where that is) to study dune ecology. The work was tough but oh was it worth it..

I hadn't seen a night sky like the Boknes night sky in quite a while. God was deliberately showing us His glory it seems. It was stunning!! And I can't impress upon you enough how beautiful the day time scenery was. I'm falling in love with the Eastern Cape more and more! The beaches never cease to amaze me here. In Durbs you can see the beach stretch into the horizon where as along the Eastern Cape you never know what is around the bend. The dunes are a magnificent sight. And every so often you come across a river entering the sea - a much prettier sight than those in Durbs.

God is drawing me closer to His creation every day - something I will admitt excites me immensely! His wonders and splendour are beyond comprehension. I love Him for it!

Things a girl gets up to

Now you don't have to wonder :)

Road tripping - No other way to travel!

Ya well what can I say.. It was a day of unconventional fun to say the least. Never before has the 6 hour trip from JHB to Durbs been so eventful. So should I give you the order of events. Besides countless stops at various petrol stations, we made a stop at a one-horse town (literally one of the smallest places I've been to!) and a small petting zoo. Good times :D

Byron's Historical 21st

A good mate, Byron, turned 21 on Friday. For the theme, he decided to give each person a specific historical character so that we didn't all dress up as the same people. We had a Helen of Troy, Florence Knightingale, Beatrix Potter, Napolean, William Wallace, Michael Jackson to name a few. As you can imagine some of the characters were pretty hard to dress up as. For example, I was Margaret Thatcher. To add a little scandal, Byron won't share his reasonings behind his character allocations, "incase people take it the wrong way" he says. Hahaha makes you think doesn't it. It was a fabulous evening with all the friends together again at last!
