Well, here it is - my last day in South Africa.

I have had an amazing trip. Simply beyond words.

Asi and I have spent the past few days in Potshefstroom, a small town in the Northwest Province. We've been staying on a farm outside of town with three Afrikaner guys. Yesterday we kayaked down the river and watched the Springboks kick Australia's ass in rugby. Today we did a three hour moterbike ride through the country.

I'm also really gearing up for coming back next year with students. Eileen, I've got the whole thing sorted. I even have arranged an "exchange" with a school in Jo'burg to make the planning easier for us. And Asi wants to drive us. I'll tell you all about it when I get home. I KNOW this trip can happen now. But we'll definitely need at least three weeks.

Anyway, I fly tomorrow and I will most certainly leave a piece of myself behind.

Talk to you soon...
