Food

The joke among our group is that all we do it eat here. When we left Detroit we had just had lunch and 3 hours into our flight we were served dinner, then an hour before we landed breakfast.  When we boarded the plane from Amsterdam to Cape Town we were treated like Kings and Queens, we had lunch and dinner plus a snack every hour or so. We were so full. And since our bodies were not use to eating at different times our appetites have been way off ever since we left last Saturday.

The first day in, we went to Col’Cachios a pizzeria that does a variety of pizzas from just ham and pinapple to bacon and bananas; which is very South African. That night for dinner all the host families meet up and had a welcome dinner with a variety of food some local and some very familiar to us. On Tuesday we packed sandwiches for lunch-PB&J and then for dinner had baked pasta. Wednesday we had Indian food in Cape Town and then stopped at Col’Cachios for pizza again.  Thursday I would say was the first time my house experienced African food, we had leftovers for lunch and our host mom made Chicken curry for dinner with rice. It was so good. Andrea, Jody and I have decided that we are up to trying everything and anything so when we get back from Holiday our host parents said they are going to cook us some local foods. But for now with a limited appetite it has been delicious!
