Depart.

Cape Town: Just to the left of the plane's wing

I departed Cape Town during the early morning hours on April 12^th. As I flew over the city I had grown to love over the past three month, I couldn’t help but feel sad! I have had the pleasure of getting to know some of the most amazing people, from all over the world!

On my flight home I reflected on how much I had learned and experienced during my visit in Cape Town.  Altogether Capetonians are very generous people. I felt so welcome at my architecture internship. And I know when I choose to return to Cape Town some day; I will be welcomed back with open arms.

A special Thank you to everyone who helped make my trip possible. Whether it was financially, emotionally, spiritually, etc I truly appreciate your support! This is an experience I will continue to value for the rest of my life!!!! 

High Tea.

One of the well-known British inspired rituals in Cape Town is High Tea.

High Tea is held in different locations all over the city. I attended the Mount Nelson Hotel afternoon tea.

At this even, you first choose what tea you would like, from a large selection.  Roobios is the flavor of tea made in South Africa.

Small sandwiches, quiches, samoosas, and other savory foods are served. As well as, a wide variety of decadent mini desserts!

Tea and snacks are enjoyed at seating arrangements specific to the size of your party. Large armchairs, sofas, and occasional chairs surround a coffee table full of your tea and treats. Quiet classical piano is playing in the background.

 High tea makes for a relaxing and delicious afternoon!
