• RIP Canon camera with my entire safari and Brazil soccer pictures on it. You served me well during our short time together. I’m sure Sea Bridge Taxi Company Driver will not cause you harm.
Top Ten:
10. Getting on the plane from Durban to Capetown after my safari, realizing after sleeping next to hyenas and elephants, flying didn’t seem like an issue anymore.

9. Meeting the fabulous 6 at Cantina Tequila.

8. The rhino, elephant and giraffe that just happened to walk directly in front of the car. Normal.

7. Dancing with my amazing local South African friends at Stones.

6. Seeing a herd of 50 plus elephants right outside out our deck, waiting to cross through our camp.

5. The initial moment when dancing transcended cultural boundaries and we bonded with those High School kids.

4. Walking into an auditorium full of high school kids cheering to see- for some of them- their first Americans.

3. Playing airplane with little preschool children at a township while they were being weighed for malnourishment.

2. A row of young children at the Green Park’s township waving ‘bye-bye’ to everyone after we had just given their community boxes of food.

1. Standing in Camps Bay beach on the last of 6 amazing days- realizing how blissfully happy I am. Truly. Utterly. Happy.
