I am a big fan of making lists. Needless to say I probably get this quality/ trait/ curse whatever you'd like to call it from my mother. I make lists for school assignments, grocery store trips, mall trips and just about anything that I can make a concise bulleted list for. Call me an OCD freak or simply organized, I cannot live without them.
However, I find myself with a huge lack of lists for Cape Town. What to bring being one of my biggest dilemmas. Weather is in the mid 60s and can either downpour cats and dogs (to the point of flooding) or be sunny and spring like. I am not just rambling about whether or not to bring three pairs of shorts or how many rain coats I need but also about how I should dress while working with locals in the townships and exploring the national parks. I want to be presentable and prepared for what I encounter and not stick out too much as a little white girl from some random small town in Upstate, NY.
Maybe it is my nerves that has gotten me to this breaking point of having NO CLUE where to start, I really could not say, but I am hoping that it clears up soon. I have a suitcase, a hiking backpack and a whole lot of camera equipment but that is just about it. Hopefully my friends and family will have suggestions in the coming weeks since I am leaving so so soon!
Until next time when I hopefully have some more ideas....
