Hi friends!
Happy to report that I am safely back in New York! The flight back from Cape Town was quite long, but was pretty good--not a lot of turbulence, and plenty of time to take a nice long nap :) I had checked a duffel bag that was stuffed with all my souvenirs, but the airline misplaced it...but it was found last night and is supposed to be delivered to my house this afternoon! Hooray! :)
I am very happy to be home with my wonderful family, and am happy that I will get to see more family and friends tomorrow in Rochester before heading back to BGSU. When I landed at Newark Airport yesterday it was 103 degrees Fahrenheit (103 degree Celcius), which was an INSANE adjustment from the 60 degree weather I was loving in Cape Town. I am a bit snuffly, but I am hoping that is just my body adjusting to the hot, humid weather.
Although I am very happy to be back, I am already missing my LSR family and my friends back in Cape Town. All of my experiences in South Africa were unforgettable and I know that my friendships will last a lifetime. It will be weird not being able to text or call my South African buddies, but hopefully gmail, facebook, and skype can keep us all in touch...and I know a few of my CapeTown-ians plan to visit me in the States--and I can't wait for that! :)
Even though I am now back in the States, there are a few more blog posts to come. I was so busy embracing every moment in South Africa my last few weeks, that I didn't have time to post, but there are many other experiences I wanted to share with you all. So, keep an eye out for a few more updates!
Cheers,
Kaity
On behalf of the ENTIRE office, we're so glad you're both back, we're SO looking forward to seeing you soon, and we can't wait to hear stories!
