I had gluten free pizza! How exciting. My Gluten defense vitamins have been working very well though, except for last night when all hell broke lose in my belly…but enough about that…

I went to get my nails done here! I know, I know. I went with my sister-in-law. While we were sitting there the radio was playing in the background. Avril came on…I apologized on behalf of Canada. A little while later Justin Beiber played…and again I apologized on behalf of my country. Then Buble and Nickelback played and I felt people resenting me, I apologized again saying I would just go ahead and say sorry for Celine too. I am sorry that Canada exports such shitty music and we keep all the good music to ourselves! How embarassing…Nail art is really big here, so I went with it. It definitely looks like an 80s disco exploded on my nails, but I am fitting in with the locals.

We went to visit an old friend of Hennie’s who now lives in a MANSION on the outskirts of town. Apparently years of rehab and owning a successful hydraulics company has worked out for him. I decided to participate in the Afrikaans tradition, among adults and children alike, I had a cup of coffee before bed. I don’t understand how these people are immune to caffeine, but their coffee is so bad maybe there probably isn’t any in it at all. But it was a bad idea. I played games on my phone all night until I got “Mahjong arm” a rare problem I’m sure only I get.

OMG MONKEYS! We went to the monkey sanctuary! So much fun!! We have amazing pictures of Hennie walking across a scary suspension bridge with a monkey on his head. SO funny! Instead of him having a shit fit over the height of the bridge he was keeping the monkey out of his pockets and camera bag as it was a known kleptomaniac. The guide said he had recently scored a Blackberry and an iPhone 5 charger and was now looking for the iPhone 5. I have never gripped my phone so hard. The monkey wanted to jump on me but I was terrified he would rip my earrings out, eat them and then steal my baby (phone).

I’m dying to go shopping. Their is leopard print everywhere and I have a feeling I will come home with a whole wardrobe fit for a cougar.

We went to visit Hennie’s cousin and his counsin’s wife, with Hennie’s parents. Everyone there was deaf except Hennie and I. It was the quietest conversation I have ever been apart of. I may or may not have videotapped the facial expressions of the Hennie’s dad, because they are a riot. His Mom busted me though…so I stopped.
