Today was first round presentations for 1st place country teams and also the winners of yesterday's 2nd place country team competition. Yesterday morning while first place teams toured Table Mountain the second place teams vied for the opportunity of compete today with the 1st place teams. Team Holy Angels from Buffalo New York won the opportunity to move forward into today’s events. Yea USA!
After competition, we all changed our clothes and a group of us walked along the beach. It was nice, as long as we had a light jacket on. The sand felt good beneath our feet. The sand was so soft and fine. There were rocks and some shells in the sand and plenty of people and dogs out for a stroll. The water was cold but felt as warm as SM beach during winter. 
Tonight, we took a shuttle from the hotel and went to dinner at the V&A Waterfront. We ate at Balthazar Restaurant. The restaurant specializes in steaks but some of the more adventurous students had game meat – Larry had the springbok, Jessica and Evan each had the Kabob that included meat from wildebeest, springbok, impala, kudu. They enjoyed their meals and willingly shared to any of us that wanted a taste. By the time we finished dinner, we missed being able to look in the shops. 
We did meet up with the SAGE teams from Ireland and South Africa at the Waterfront. We heard there were some worthwhile shops to check out and an aquarium, so we may go back Monday. Back to the hotel for the evening. Our "tireless" teachers and chaperones were only too glad to finally find a few minutes to sit back and relax!
