Last night, after our incredible day climbing Lion's Head, we tracked down a place to watch the USA play Turkey in an international friendly. Dubliner at Kennedy's, an Irish bar on Long Street, put the game on for us. I was decked out in my Charlie Davies Jersey and my USA track jacket. David was wearing an American Outlaws shirt, and Hirsh, who had never watched an entire soccer match, did not know anything about our team, and is from UC Berkley wore my $5 Walmart Star-Spangled T-shirt. It was a bold move, but totally paid off.
We went down a goal about 30 minutes in, but second half goals from Jozy and Deuce put the Yanks on top.
About as the game was wrapping up, a group of UGA, Wake, and Auburn kids came in. they were on a 'Leadership Studies' Maymester, meaning they have been just hanging out in Cape Town for a month. One of the guys was in the same fraternity with Hillyer. One was my cousin Nick's pledge trainer. One girl went to Camp Longhorn with my cousin Trent. We went upstairs and joined them at a piano bar, and right when we walked in David, the piano player, started playing 'Walking in Memphis.' I went nuts.
Today we went to a Portuguese restaurant on the waterfront then to Two Oceans Aquarium. It was really cool. David and HIrsh went to pick up stuff at the telephone and computer store, and Hirsh saw that the model for one of the displays in this store was his sister. We tried not to give him two hard of a time for the picture prominently displaying his sister in bed with some guy.
It was a surreal day.
The last picture is of a really sad-looking penguin.
