Since I haven't posted in over a month, and for my parent's benefit, I would just like to say that things here are still great. We're going on less crazy adventures, but in a way that's good because I kinda actually feel like I live here now. I can spend weekends catching up on life and relaxing by the beach and not feel guilty that I'm not off exploring some new part of Cape Town.
This post is also to try and get ahead of the game before I leave on my next crazy adventure (yes I realize I just said I've been going on less of them) over Christmas break. I'll be traveling to Namibia, Botswana, and Zambia, meeting up with different groups of GRS'ers along the way. This trip still doesn't feel real and I say those countries so nonchalantly right now, but if I were in the US, I would have been planning a three week trip like this for months. I just bought my plane ticket home yesterday. And I leave in 3 days. Oops. We've all just been so busy at work that trip planning has been put on the back burner. It'll all work out. I'll go over the trip more when I come back home in January, but wish me luck and hopefully I survive the Namibian sand, the Botswana delta, and jumping off Victoria Falls. Woo!
Here's some pics of my last few weeks in South Africa.
