Trevor Hits PE

Trevor came to town this past weekend.  He got in early Saturday, we went to the City Lads game, went home, braaid with a bunch of people, and went to Castros.  I got kicked off the city lads bench because my shorts were "too short" for the sideline referee.  It is a big deal here that soccer is a "lesbian sport" and turns girls into lesbians.  I think it’s weird how they try to de-feminize the players though.  Nails have to be cut short short shot, like a wrestler, and now I can't wear normal shorts, but have to have them down to the knee to sit on the bench.  It's strange. 

Anyways, the braai at our house was amazing and we had a bunch of people that moved on to Castros.  It was such a fun night.  Sunday we took Trevor to the ocean and spent the day in the sun before he hopped a bus back to Kimberly.  Great weekend.  Hopefully the next, in Joburg, will be as fun.
