Three days ago, I just left Bethanie for what I feel like may be forever. It's a very strange feeling, and one I'm not really dealing with right now. Before I can officially wrap up Peace Corps, all the volunteers must meet in Windhoek and complete a bunch of paperwork, medical stuff, resume blah to complete their service. I'm currently staying at an apartment while all this goes on, reading books and making travel plans.
While I feel I should be excited, I can just feel this bubbly nervous panicky feeling constantly moving under my skin. I mean, I have left Bethanie. I do not live there anymore. I do not teach there anymore. I just can't believe I won't be going back, and I know I'm going to have some sort of freak out, but right now it's more of a numb, what's going on? kinda thing.
And in 5 more days, I will be a former Peace Corps Volunteer. It's a very strange feeling, to say the least.
This blog, however, is not really going to be about all my Peace Corps-ing. For a while, I thought I'd travel for a couple weeks and then head home, but I mean, we're in AFRICA, don't we need to check some thingity-things out?
So this blog will (I hope) document travels around this here big place. For the next 2 1/2 months some friends and I plan to go to South Africa,Lesotho, Tanzania, Malawi, Moz, hop up to Egypt, over to Morrrrrrrrocco, and maybe skip across to Spain and France. It would be smart to save more money and come straight home, but I mean, there are pyramids that need to be seen. There are lakes that need to swam in, silly straw hats that need to be bought, and ponies that need to be ridden. Because ponies will be ridden. Even though I'm allergic.
So I hope I keep up with this blog, and I'll try to post what's going on, and how travelling is going down going down. I should have some kinda decent internet access, so I'll keep up with it, and try to get my camera to do the same.
