Quick Note Before I Go

Hey guys! Sorry it's been a while since I've posted. I've been out and about travelling around this past month. Namibia was great--lotsa sandboarding and hanging out on the beach and dunes. Went to Durban for a bit, hiked in the Drakensburg mountains and saw bushman paintings that are 1000's of years old. So sweet! I also went up to Lesotho (a country on the top of a mountain that in completely surrounded by SA) and had a drink at the highest pub in all of Africa. We were above the cloud line and it was absolutely stunning! We also layed on the beach a bit in Durban. Other than that, I've just been living it up here in Cape Town before I leave tomorrow night. This place has changed my life and I don't think I would be the person I am today if I had not come here. I'll be stateside soon so just ask me sometime--I'd love to tell you all about it! I'll post some reflections on the semester when I get home as well so if there is anyone out there still reading this thing, you can hear my thoughts.

I'm not going to sleep until I leave tomorrow night (which might be difficult because I got about 4 hours of sleep last night), but I only have a few hours left and I don't want to spend them sleeping. Just to let y'all know, I'll be in New York for a few days before I actually get home, but come Wednesday evening at 9.13, I'll be landed in STL and taking on the the winter. Hard to believe because it's sooooo hot here! I spent 12 hours at the beach yesterday! Just trying to soak it all in before I leave!

Ok my good people, I'm off to enjoy this beautiful city for one last time. Next post will be from the other side. See you soon!!

love always,
