Rotaract District Conference

I had the chance to go to the annual Rotaract District Conference a couple of Saturdays ago and I finally have gotten the pictures from it.  For those of you who don't know, Rotaract is affiliated with Rotary and specifically targets people under the age of 30.  I know, I missed the cutoff age, but oh well.  The conference was about an hour away from Cape Town, and I've included some pictures below:

We were situated right by a lake, and when the fog would roll off of it, it made for a very beautiful sight.

All of the Rotaracters from Wynberg (the district that I am currently in).  I am at the far left, and no, the bridge wasn't caving - though it does look like it will!

Wine Tasting in Darling

I just came back from a great weekend with some fellow ambassadorial scholars.  We traveled about an hour outside of Cape Town to a place called Darling.  We sampled some amazing wine, hiked and walked around the beautiful countryside, and ate... a lot!  here are just a few of the pics that I took on the trip...

this photo was of a church, if you couldn't tell already - I liked the architecture and wanted to share it with you all.

this is the place we stayed at overnight, we had the place all to ourselves - August is off-peak travelling in these parts.

the views were pretty amazing, and the picture doesn't do it justice.  

Travelling outside of Cape Town, most people speak Afrikaans, which is not easy for me to get the hang of. Thankfully, the people we encountered knew some English, as well.  My aim is to at least try to be conversational in Afrikaans.  I have a lot of goals while I am here, though!
