Day 11: Bittersweet
Today was bittersweet. Every minute that passes brings me closer to my daughter who I miss so much, but takes me further away from my new friends, both my friends in Cape Town and my American friends who live all over the country, some of whom I may likely never see again. Although our group had some dramatic moments, everyone is uniquely amazing and incredible and we had a great experience together.
Started the day meeting with Consul General Alberta Mayberry to invite her on a vision tour of the Western Cape YMCAs, to which she agreed. Elaine and Chad were on their A-game and did a fabulous job articulating the work of the YMCAs and their importance in the community.
Had an excellent walk with Chad through Observatory and then to the Waterfront. Great conversation with a great person.
Met Susan and Ryan for ice cream at the Waterfront and relaxed for a bit. Enjoyed every minute. Headed back to the YMCA for our final supper, which was an African brie, or barbecue. Our gracious hosts had prepared lamb, chicken, pork, and salad, all of which was delicious. We had a great time spending our last few hours together. Then we headed to the airport for the long journey home.
