Infecting the City

Today I finally made it to Infecting the City, an arts festival taking place in Cape Town. It is a week long festival, with performers, and artists showing the world their talent. It was incredible to see the wind dance, with people dressed in silver and plastic bags, imitating the movement of the wind, stomping their feet, doing cartwheels over colored sheets, and dancing to the beat of the drum. After seeing this, we were led by a man painted silver with a tin can hat, to the next event. Wr saw people just walking on the street as is usual and then freeze and assume their position. At one point I wanted to join in on the performance, so I started walking down the street and froze, taking note of how many people noticed and tried to snag a picture of this occurrence. We then saw this play/dance/opera type performance that was incredible. I have no words really to explain it but I will put up a link to Infecting the City so you guys can get a feel for what it's been like. After that Annie and Andrew (awesome new friend!) and I went to Nando's where they both made fun of me for eating like a Caveman but hey..God gave us hands for a reason....obviously so we could eat some good meat. After an afternoon full of laughs, food, and entertainment we headed back with our hearts flooding with happiness..at least I did! Well that's it for now, I am going to try to start updating more because there is so much that has been happening everyday, but I hope you all enjoy what I've been posting so far!
