East Meets West: Cape Point, South Africa
TnCIS students were treated to a tour of the cape peninsula today. Cape Point, South Africa is the southern most point of Africa. The Indian and the Atlantic Oceans meet at this point and is one of the most breathtaking lanscapes in the world. A few brave students took a swim in the Indian ocean, while the rest of us just got our feet wet. We stopped by a local fish market and saw a few friendly seals. We also went to the Boulders and saw a colony of African penguins in their natural habitat. Then, on the way home, we saw a troop of baboons! Overall, it was a spectacular day of South African scenery!

Today has to be the best day of my life. I have to say that the landscapes I saw today were the most beautiful things in the world. South Africa embodies elements from all over the globe and I have learned so much that I can not wait to take back to the U,S, I am so grateful for this opportunity and would not trade it for anything.

What a beautiful picture and amazing experience… I could only imagine…each day it seems is a ‘once in a lifetime event’…
Thank you all so much for your comments. TnCIS has been difficult to get started and I hope that you will encourage your presidents to continue to support it when you get home…or even before…send your president a postcard today!

Everything dynamic and very positively!
Cape Point was amazing. That might have been the most beautiful view in the entire world. Being on the top stand beside the light house and see where the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean meet was something I will never forget.

How many people can say they have put their feet in the Indian Ocean and stood on the southernmost tip of Africa? What a day!
