At one of our pre-departure meetings our team leader, Carrie, asked us
to write down 5 goals we had for our time in Cape Town. Majority of our group
including Carrie wrote eating a variety of foods. I think I conquered that goal
very well. What didn’t I have on my trip? I ate chicken, oxtail, ostrich,
seafood, crocodile, spring bock, lamb, samosas, Ethiopian food, Thai food, etc.
I don’t think I was ever disappointed. I guess the food itself wasn’t what made
it so great. The environment I found myself in made it 10 times better and
enriched my dining.
The Ethiopia restaurant was peaceful and we ate with our hands. The
cool part was the way we washed our hands. Desert was so good we all had
seconds. And coffee was served with popcorn. It was a new way for me to enjoy
my meal. Best part was we ate all from one plate.
Swingers, Blue Chip, and Mama Africa all had live music. It was live
and the variety of talent was quite a treat.
The two oceans aquarium had a beautiful view of the ocean.
Everywhere we ate had something unique about it and I miss all the good
food we ate.
The best restaurant would have to be our own home during the program.
Every time we made dinner at home it was like a feast! We all put forth one
item of ours and from there it grew. I think I gained more weight when we
stayed in and ate instead of going out. It was good because I built close
relationships with my housemates when we cooked and ate.
