A post from Scoot!

I think Katy is sans internet so here is a daily update:

Yesterday was amazing with several concerts in the area. I was really proud of Kokopelli. They performed so well and we received numerous standing ovations throughout the day. Everyone enjoyed performances at a very proper Somerset College Assembly, a primary school in Lwandle and a preschool there as well (I'll post pictures soon) as well as at a packed evening concert at Somerset College once again.

Today was a free day and one bus took numerous people to the gorgeous village of Stellenbosch while the other took people to the markets in Cape Town. In addition a number of us simply remained in Somerset to relax, do laundry, or do a few local activities (I had an amazing lunch with my parents and Anne McIntyre at a beautiful winery).

It's cold and rainy here and promises to remain this way until we leave but everyone still remains happy and they are appearing to have a good time. The people who were sick seem to finally be back in their normal state over the past few days. Laura Forster was in the hospital here last night with stomach issues but she was fine today - infact she was up hitting the stores. We are very grateful for Susan Chan, our nurse, she has been busy and wonderful with everyone on this tour! We love you Susan!!

Tomorrow AM we have a drumming workshop at the college. Following that we will be heading to Bolders Beach to see the penguins. There is a renowned children's choir from the USA touring the area at the moment too and we hope to meet up with them tomorrow on our way to Cape Town.

Unfortunatly we heard that much of Robben Island is currently under construction and the tram up Table Mountain is currently closed for 2 weeks - DRAT!!

Oh well, there will be lots to do in Cape Town. I'll post some pics soon! Much love!
