The day finally came. The day when the South Africa Spring 2013 semester ended. The day when 33 of them went back to the States and the remaining 20 of us stayed behind in Africa. And so the adventure began.
A couple of taxis hauled all our luggage and most of our group (the rest walked, caught the train, then walked some more) to Long Street Backpackers, a hostel on Long Street in downtown Cape Town. To put it simply, Long Street is where everything's happening in Cape Town.
I'd try describing what the past week has been like but I always find myself having trouble doing so. In stead of my words, here are some pictures in an attempt to sum it up (if you click on the pictures you can view them full-screen!):
