Woke up to 13 degree, windy and raining. My good intentions to walk the 20 minutes to catch the bus went out the window, and I used $4 of the university’s money to take a taxi. It’s hard to believe that it is as warm as 13…it seems much colder. I felt better when I got to the conference and recognized that most of the speakers were wearing their coats, and many were wearing boots. Everyone was drinking gallons of tea – not because they were thirsty, but because holding the cups prevented hypothermia.
People in Cape Town are very nice; but central heating would make them nicer. My room has two single beds so I can have two sets of bedding on my bed, so at least I’m warm when I’m sleeping.
Think it’ll snow?
