Goodbyes Suck
... pillows, and had ourselves a house sleep over! We played charades of people and events in Cape Town never-have-I-ever South Africa version. It was a perfect final night together.
Then it was the dreaded date, November 21. We all got up and did one final hike to the Rhodes memorial together. There we sat and looked out at our beautiful view of Cape Town that we knew we would miss so much. Devil's Peak was home to us, we could see it and knew where ...
