Day 19: Cape Town and Mom and Joe in tha house!

As I said before, Mom and Joe are in the house!  I feel like a tour guide playing host to them as I've been here almost 3weeks and basically feel SA by now.  But there is so much we haven't seen yet...guess I need to come back to SA!

Today we planned on seeing the African penguins at Boulder National Park and then driving from the Cape of Good Hope along the coast back into Cape Town.  We got as far as the Penguins, when my mom ran into an old friend, Tony, who had moved back to SA years ago.  Turns out his wife, Nancy, lived in West Hartford for a while and her son, Jared, still lives in West Hartford and just happened to be visiting SA this month.  Anyways we chatted for hours, had lunch at a local restaurant while watching the England vs. Germany game (i have to say it was sweet watching England lose  : p ), then we headed over to their house where the so kindly allowed me and my dad to do some laundry.  We then went up Signal Hill to look down onto the city under the light of a full moon and then headed to a restaurant to watch the Argentina vs. Mexico match.
