On the road again

It’s time to leave South Africa.  I taught an enthusiastic bunch of amazing Capetown-ians yesterday and today it’s time to head off.  Cape town was fun, the ladies were keen and the layouts were superb.  It’s always satisfying to walk away from a class with so many layouts finished, and looking so good. 

Spier Estate was beautiful.  This place is set in wine country and the accommodation is like old French style blocks of villas, just beautiful.  Everywhere you turn there are squirrels and owls and African culture of some sort. 

There is a place here called Moyo, African music plays constantly, they paint your face as you walk in.  It’s a place to eat, sit, talk, laugh and drink the bar dry of Amarula.

Anyway, it’s time to head back.  I was sad leaving New Zealand after the earthquakes and I know it hasn’t got any easier with the weather being so atrocious. 

Although I feel like I still have so much to learn here and I’m scared that when I leave I’ll forget some of the amazing things I’ve learnt about this diverse culture, it’ll be nice to hug my kids again.  

I hope to come back one day.

    I felt that same way about Canada. I love this quote by Maya Angelou about traveling. “”Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.””

    Hi!
    Stopped by while using up my evening looking for inspiration rather than doing teacher-working-at-home-type things. Your blog is awesome! Full of inspiration, and you write so well! I’ll stop by often. Thanks!
