Back to America Soon...

It's hard to believe that I'll be flying back to the US on Monday!  I've had such an amazing experience at Belvue Primary and with my host mom and brother in Ravensmead.  Yesterday was my last day at the school, and I have to say it was tough saying bye to my 7th graders.  I had them all sign an ostrich egg for me and I took pictures of all of my students.  Before my last week at Belvue, I spent a long weekend in George w/our study abroad group.  I was given the opportunity to play with three tiger cubs.. they were adorable!!  We went on a safari and saw a few lions.. one of them came super close to our safari truck and looked like it was going to jump in.. a little scary!  There were also rhinos, giraffes, zebras, water buffalo, and antelope on the safari.  Now this weekend we're back at Deo Gratia, where it all started :)  We'll be visiting a winery tomorrow (the one where Brad proposed to Emily on The Bachelor!) and finishing up our shopping at Green Market Square.  I'll try and post one more time before flying home on Monday, I can't wait to see everyone!
