We had a our first night time black out last night. There have been a few daytime black outs where they cut out power to certain neighborhoods for 2-3 hour periods. In some of the farther out regions they can have their power cut for the whole day. Last night we were all sitting around getting ready to go out and the power flickered a few times and then just went out. Apparently the power throughout all of Cape Town went out at the same time. So we stayed in, lit candles, had our friends over and hung out in the dark. It was a pretty fun night. The power came back on around 2 in the morning.
It can definitely be challenging to be without power. The restaurants can only serve cold food, the grocery store runs on a generator and we're not supposed to open our fridge because we'll let the cold out. The power outages have been in the papers a lot and I am pretty sure they're also being published in newspapers in the states.
But, I'm safe and happy and I hope all of you are doing well.

Hi Ema,
I'm beginning to get anxious to hear about your community engagement project. I figured by now it would be coming to light.
I'm wondering if these blackouts are planned or if just goes. I figure that it's just a conservative measure.
Take care and know that I'm thinking about you.
Love,
Grandma

Hey Ema, I hear that they make these amazing little sticks that emit light rays. In case of a black out, all you have to do is twist the big end and ta-dah! Portable Light. Of course, being the enlightened woman that you are, you probably have one already. I really enjoy your posts and look forward to hearing your insights and experiences.
