hey everybody how are things? were great. hotter than believable actually.

today was another scortcher, i thknk around 40 in the shade, so after a failed attempt climbing in the morning, we decided to head to the coast. we headed to lamberts bay. we picked up a couple drunk canadians for the drive (dan and byron's car broke down again so they decided to start drinking at 1100) to made for the ocean. the drive was hotter than it was at home! sam described it as sitting infront of a hair dryer... while on fire! but just as we got over the last hill before town a gust of cold sea air hit us. it was shocking how cold it was. might have only been like 25 or 30, but it felt arctic. sam soon had a hoodie on. the town was as exciting as one couldn't prepare for. they had a fish meal grocery store, a beach where you had to watch your step due to broken glass and condoms strewn about. they had a couple restaurants and a fish meal plant and a french fry plant. we wanted a tour of the plants, but we were turned away because apparently they had secrets that they didnt want competition to get ahold of. so we went for cray fish and muscles. mm mm good.

and thats about it. lamberts bay, excitment center for south africa. hope your all well. thought id just write a bit to keep everyone posted. not much new here. sam sent for first FA (first ascent for all non-climbers. means she found a new route, cleaned it, and climbed it. very cool.) and named it captain hook.
