So today is my last day in Africa. Peter and I just returned to Entebbe (Uganda) yesterday after spending three and a half days in Zanzibar, which was just as I had imagined it: white sand beaches, palm trees, blue sky, and turquoise water. It was so beautiful that we didn’t do anything but just hang out at the beach by our hotel. We laid around in the sun, went swimming, walked along the beach, and Peter was even able to take out the sea kayak they had at the hotel (which was really just a collection of bungalows). We’re spending the day at our hotel in Entebbe today waiting for our (annoyingly far-off) 9:50pm flight home tonight.
Africa has been very kind to me. I’ve met so many amazing people and seen things–beautiful and ugly–that I will never forget. I’ve experienced joys and frustrations–both at rather intense levels. I’m looking forward to getting home and back into a routine of things, but I know I’m going to miss it here. And I know I’ll be back!
So yes, this is the last day here in Africa, but it will not be the last post. Once I get home, I’ll post more pics and videos, especially of the last couple of weeks since Peter’s been here.
