As I mentioned in my Sunday post, last night I went to the Kirstenbosch Gardens for an outdoor concert. I had such an amazing time. Not only are the gardens breathtakingly beautiful, but my friends and I packed a picnic for the gods. I’ll start with the gardens. It was hot hot hot all day Sunday in Obs. I could barely think it was so hot. But Kirstenbosch, being on the other side of Table Mountain, was blessed with a pleasantly cool evening. It was the perfect escape from a sweltering day. The concert grounds are in the gardens on a sloping field bordered with a variety of plants and trees and with Table Mountain as a background. The music was good, with lots of slow jams since it was Valentine’s Day. My group sat right in front of this one woman who was really digging the music. She danced and sang along to every song. It got kind of weird when she tried to get the guys to dance with her. It was so relaxing to sit in such a beautiful place and listen to groovy music. The atmosphere was perfect for a Sunday night. We brought such an amazing picnic of freshly baked bread, various veggie and dips, cheese (of course, since we’re all from Wisconsin), nutella, and other goodies. We pigged out like the royalty we are, or at least like we felt we were. I cannot describe the awesomeness of Table Mountain as seen from Kirstenbosch. My camera died right when we got there, so I don’t have any pictures. As soon as I get some from my friends I will post them. I definitely will go to another concert at Kirstenbosch. The experience was pure bliss.
