Day 2 - Shopping and Sight Seeing

   After going to bed late Saturday night, Luke and I decided to go ahead and wake up early in the morning to walk his dog, Peanut, and have a small tour of the neighborhood. It was not quite 7am and already the temperature was rising. It was so awesome to be with my younger brother again and see how well adjusted he is and how much he loves being in Cape Town! It makes me jealous, but I'm so happy he gets this experience!


   Mma and I headed into town to do some shopping at the Cavendish Mall. We enjoyed some wonderful mother-daughter time and had fun going into all of the shops and eating Subway for lunch!

No 'Christmas' signs, only 'Merry'

   Once we got back home we rested, watched a Christmas movie and then the four of us went out for a walk to the Dog Park. It was a great day! And to end it we made chocolate chip cookies!
