Back to the forest!
Tomorrow (Friday) we leave for the second weekend of Reforest Fest! We are headed back to Platbos Forest to plant another 2,000 trees for the FRIENDS fest (last weekend was FAMILY fest). We are expecting 350 people, (double the amount of last weekend...) but it should be a good time! I am excited, it may get a bit hectic (a popular South African term for situations that may go a bit crazy..) but all in good fun. I hope to take many photos, meet lots of new people and drink some beer! Mitchells is the local brewery we have got kegs from WOO! So excited for the weekend, this week I have started working on many fun graphic design projects and getting into the Greenpop groove.
Last night we went to the local coffee shop, Truth, which not only makes good lattes, but has a really cool, hip nightime scene. Once a month they have people come in to sell a bunch of vintage clothing (right up my alley!), so hopefully I catch them again before I leave! (Cute, funky tops for R20-30, so only a few dollars!) Of course, their beer was delicious, by Devil's Peak. I want to check out more about the local beer scenes, and hopefully check out a few breweries!
Today at work was my day to help cook lunch, we have a rotation going where two people cook lunch everyday for the entire office. All food is vegetarian :) and right now Greenpop is doing a vegan challenge, so even better! Michelle (Greenpop's Educational Manager) and I made a yummy curry dish for everyone, with chopped potatoes, veggies, lentils and rice. I think it is safe to say it was a success!
After work I am off to pack for the weekend, it's warm during the day for planting, but extremely chilly at night. Lots of layers, socks and water are essentials. So til Monday, I will be "Out of the office," Cheers everyone!
