This is it. My last blog post for this African adventure of mine and its' mighty sad trying to condense these final thoughts in a blog post. So my journey back, my flights were all long, lay-overs and I aren't friends and I am still woozy from about 3 different time zones BUT I am back and safe.
The past day has been a giant struggle because of how foreign everything and everyone looks to me. The streets are packed and traffic is hell all over again. My house is way bigger than I remember and there are way too many white people here! LOL
I am freezing here in this 13 degree weather with non- stop rain, and I'm missing me some fat cakes and phapatas ( classic breakfast food and snacks.
The past week in Gaborone was probably one of the best I can look back on in my life. My friends and I decided to Ball-Out each night and live like we were leaving (or dying) tomorrow.
Towards the last night things got quite depressing with goodbyes and a surprise visit from the tear factory. I rarely cry... as in never, and I told myself I wasn't going to feel like crying when I left these people... and all of a sudden I became the biggest cry baby of them all.
It was definitely hard saying goodbye, but we did remind each other that it was only see you later, and we are going to visit as soon as we save up some money since we're all in debt now!
This experience has been entirely life changing and once again, I've added another dimension to my perspective of the world. I have met the most amazing souls and made life long friendships through our shared experience of this journey. Botswana will forever hold a special place in my heart and even though I don't know when I'll be back there next, I know I will visit sooner than later!
For now, I've left my heart in Bots'
Thank you to everyone who has kept me in their thoughts,prayers and followed my blog for these past 5 months... it meant a whole lot more to me than you'll know.
So its' the globe trotter signing off to live a normal life in suburbia for the first time in 3 years and oddly enough, I'm excited!!!!!!!!
