Last Day at African Enterprise

Today was an amazing last day at African Enterprise (the campus we have stayed at for the past 11 weeks).   We started off the day by going to the Lion Park, because we were a part of the group that didn't see lions on safari. That was absolutely awesome. Not only did we see lions, but we also got to pet, and feed elephants. In fact being with the elephants was the best part! The lions were fun to pass by, their beauty and strength are breathtaking. Katie was sticking her camera our through a crack in the window and the lion saw her hand and charged! She pulled it back in time, but was a bit shaken up. It was such a great way to start the day, elephants and lions!

















When we got back we went on a hike to the third water fall. It was a perfect day to go because it was extremely hot, so it felt great to cool off in the water of the falls. We had a great time despite some bumps and bruises people received (including me).






We ended the day with a farewell dinner. A few of the women from our service site came, GuGu and Nomvula, and it was so wonderful to see them. We spent the evening chatting with them and eating the best meal we have had on campus so far.

It is weird, if feels like just yesterday we were pulling up to the campus and now we are leaving. However, the part that is making me bummed is leaving the friendships we have made with the people at our service sites. They have truly become our friends and we love them dearly.

Now off to Cape Town! We will give you updates as we get internet!
