The last week was insane; we had a project due that just about killed me. Friday I was finally able to relax and jumped in on a game of ultimate Frisbee. Turns out the rugby field is a breeding ground for mosquitoes and the buggers just about devoured me whole. I have well over thirty bites and they swelled up to about the size of golf balls (don't worry mom we are in a non-malaria area). I looked like I just walked out of a really bad episode of E.R. After Frisbee a bunch of us went to my friend Chris's house and we had a pancake feast (better know to you folks at home as crepes). I thoroughly stuffed myself and headed to my flat around 11:00pm where my friend MJ picked Kat and me up and we headed on a little road trip down the coast. MJ gave us a real taste of South African driving on the way; I just about kissed the ground when we finally arrived at the house in Hermans. We stayed up and managed to get ourselves into a rather intense talk about politics (not recommended when you are one of two Americans in a room full of South Africans...anti-American sentiment is fashionable). I managed to get to bed before sunrise and the next morning we woke up and headed to the beach. It was a pretty nice day, but I was miserable from the mosquito bites, so we headed to the pharmacy to get some antihistamines. Then we had a nice lunch...and the rest of my time in Hermanus is pretty much a blurr because I was so pumped full of antihistamines, they did a fine job of knocking me out. And this is my excuse for having no amazing pictures to share...I was sleeping most of the weekend.

Hope you all had a great, less itchy weekend than I!!!
