January 8, 2005

We woke up early this morning excited for our first matches in South Africa! Unfortunately, it became very cloudy and it began to rain.

We drove out to the tennis courts hoping the rain would pass by; however, the courts were soaked even though the rain had stopped. We met a few local tennis players and enjoyed chatting with them about their experiences growing up in South Africa.

After spending time with them, we headed over to Green Market Square and shopped for handmade arts and crafts by the locals.

After spending all the money we had, we took a boat trip to Robben Island to learn about Nelson Mandela and the other prisoners. Meeting one of the former prisoners was the highlight of the trip.

After this long day, we sat at the waterfront eating dinner and relaxed listening to the jazz music festival.
