Goodbye South Africa!

Well it looks like my time in Peace Corps South Africa has finally come to an end – about one month ago to be exact (or approximate…) It was an interesting and eventful experience as regular blog readers and friends already know!

Moving away from Durban was physically pretty easy (not including a few more trips to my favorite place – the post office) . I managed not to amass too much crap, and there were plenty of takers for all of the things I gave away. Which was nice. I hate throwing away stuff if there’s someone somewhere who can use it.

Emotionally moving wasn’t quite as easy.  I guess I really realized how well I’d gotten to know people and how close some relationships became when it got down to the point of saying goodbye for who knows how long?

I do hope to return to South Africa one day, although at this point I don’t know when.  What I do know is that I’ll miss my friends.
