home

i am home and i must admit that it feels very weird.

Pictures!!

I said my goodbyes to namibia, and it was quite emotional... yet I am hopeful that I will be seeing Namibia again, one day.

These pictures are a bit random, but I wanted to show you a few of the things I've been seeing!

I am now in Cape Town for 10 days with my classmates. Here in Cape Town, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Here are some African Penguins (formally called "Jackass Penguins because of the crazy noises they make") And it's crazy to think that there are penguins in southern Africa

I am sitting at the southern-most point in Africa. The Indian and Atlantic Ocean meet here... how BEAUTIFUL!!!

We visited Robben Island, the famous prison where many political prison were sentenced during the struggle against apartheid. This is an incredible place, because the tours are given by former political prisoners. Our guide had incredible hope and forgiveness. He truly lived out hope and reconciliation, that he would be willing to put himself in the place where he experienced such humilation. Yet he is hopeful about the future for South Africans. This is Nelson Mandela's prison cell. Mandela spent 27 years in prison--23 in Robben Island, and many of those years were spent in solitary confinement. Yet he did not give up on the fight, and ultimately became the first black president of South Africa

Here is the beautiful Zambazi River, where I spent my spring break in Zambia. This is the river that I did a 2 day canoe trip on! And what a sunset!

Some buddies and I went to Sossesflei in Namibia, some of the biggest sand dunes in the world. We thought it would be fun to jump!

More to come!!!
