i could talk for days (and i have re-hashed my trip for countless hours) about the incredible time i had in africa but i won't do that. whenever i have friends that go somewhere and come back i can listen to stories about their trips for about 10 minutes tops before i start to zone out. so i won't do that to you but i will post a stupid amount of pictures and tell you that it is the most beautiful country i have ever been to and the people are resilient and the couple who run lighthouse mission are truly being light in a very dark community. due to the political climate we weren't supposed to take pictures of where we were working so the couple pictures of us with community kids are sneaky pics that we weren't supposed to take...sometimes you just gotta break the rules.
leaving MSP...so excited!
my mom and i on the tarmac in jo-burg to finish the trip to cape town.
driving on the left-hand side of the road!
lilybank cottage, our incredible lodgings
shanty town in the foreground, table mountain in the back
mid-way up our table mountain hike.
yeah, we climbed that sucker.
from the top of table mountain
that view is to die for
coffee snobs: if you go to cape town you HAVE
to go to Truth Coffee Roasters
cape of good hope
give me the ocean all day, every day
hanging out on some rocks at the cape
muscles because i'm super strong
african penguins!
seriously, SA is SUCH a beautiful country
this is keenan. he's got an incredibly hard life but look at that smile!
language doesn't matter, kids are kids everywhere
some abandoned buildings in the community we worked in
had to try Mugg & Bean coffee before i left!
until next time, south africa!
next week i'll put up pictures from our time in london.
