I can't believe its time to come home

I can't believe it is time to come home.  Today is our last day in South Africa.  It's been an amazing and odd trip adventuring around the southern-eastern coast of South Africa.  Many funny stories to share which I will when we return.  The internet access has been so spotty I havent had much time or access to write much or post some of the really neat pictures we have taken,  both from South Africa and Kenya. 

I was very sad to leave Nairobi after such a short time.  I made some very nice friends and really loved working with MSDP and look forward to continuing those new friendships.  When home I look forward to sharing stories and pictures of the work being done there by some wonderful people.

Andy met me in Jo'burg where we explored for a few days - spending a whole day at the Apartheid Museum- Incredible!  From there we flew to Cape Town, saw a few sights and headed south east going to Cape of Good Hope, the Cape of Alghulus (sp?), Hermanus,Swellendam, Mossel Bay and back to Cape Town where we took a boat to Robben Island yesterday.  We saw beautiful countrysides, the southern most tip of Africa, the Indian and Atlantic Oceans collide, very kind and interesting people, a group of Harley Riders on holiday from Jo'burg (mostly women), some back roads and finally a few towns that no one else on holiday has probably ventured too (in other words we kind of got lost:-)).

It's been a great time with lots and laughs too!  Well must sign off so we can check out a few more things in Cape Town before we head to the airport for our flights.  We depart at 11:55 p.m. tonight and arrive in Atlanta at 8:30 tomorrow night.  All in all - 26 hours of travel.

See you all soon!
Much love!
