TIA- This Is Africa
Some of the random memories I will bring back home are spectacular scenery, reading stories to children in the townships, cold winter weather, heated floors, no mosquitos, ostrich and ox tail meat, milk tart, malva pudding, roibos tea, granadilla, chakalaka, mealie pap, local township beer (no worries, no alcohol), Brits on the Baz Bus, naming the countries of the world, thumb snaps, braais, interact students at Knysna, robots, dynamic Rotary Clubs, Xhosa hand shakes, serving food to kids and laborers, pig snout hike, lunch in the Knysna township, quad biking, freezing water, Appletizer, Octavia's hot chocolate, rugby, land rover to the beach, soccer games, the legacy of apartheid, district 6, Robben Island, Kirstenbosch, Table Mountain, Bay Atlantic, Mosaic Sanctuary, and wonderful hosts. TIA = This Is Africa.
