The Final Days - Africa 2
Posted by the AAVE team in : Africa, General AAVE Trip BLOG , add a comment
Hello Abbott, friends and family,
Since we last talked we we completed our final service project building a soccer field for a local primary school and creating a field day for them. They loved it. We then had a full day of driving towards Johannesburg and stayed at a game lodge in the mountains. It was the coldest day of the trip, but absolutely worth it!
Tons of wild life surrounding us, hot running showers with pressure (always a plus), good food, a fire and of course the best company anyone could ever ask for. Alex finished the night off as leader of the day, ending our night with a great meeting and good company. We are now back in Johannesburg, the city where gold was first found in South Africa. Yesterday, we took a tour to Cradle of Humankind, a cave where some of the earliest fossils of mankind have been found. Today we are going to an amusement park, then to the Apartied museum and celebrating our last night together with a great African meal. Kaylee will lead our final meeting. We are all so sad to depart, but so thankful for this amazing experience.
Thank you back home for making this to happen.
We miss you all and look forward to seeing you in a few days.
