Coco Wah Wah's

All of you blog followers should know by now that Coco Wah Wah's is a cafe down the road from our houses in Rondebosch that we basically live at. They let us use their free internet if we order coffee, food, etc. Great vibes here and cool people. Leo is one the girls that waitresses here and has become part of our little family. She lives in the nearby township Khayelitsha in a shack with her mom and sisters but is originally from Lesotho. Even though she is about a 20 minute drive from here, the bus takes about two hours back and forth. Not only does she take care of us daily at Coco's, she has become an amazing friend. She is 23 but lives such a different life than us- my favorite afternoon activity is to sit in Coco's and make her tell me everything about her life as a child and now. (she is fascinated that everyone in America has showers and not bath basins) She just got her hair done and I promised I would post the pics on the internet of her new do. THE BRAIDS TOOK SEVEN HOURS!
