Following the end of my rotation, I spent four
days in Cape Town before heading home. Only a short two-hour flight from
Joburg, the cities have vastly different personalities. Johannesburg most
reminds me of Balitmore – a checkerboard layout with sioled diversity and
pockets of seediness. Cape Town is more like California, the natural beauty of
the Bay Area with the laid-back feel of Los Angeles.

This is what vacation should feel like: beach
hopping on the drive down the Cape of Good Hope, grazing local artisan foods at
Neighborgoods market, enjoying the philharmonic at the most beautiful outdoor
amphitheater I’ve ever seen, hiking Lion’s Head mountain through sunset into
the full moon, and eating a variety of game meats seen on our safari. And Hillsong Church even has a plant here!
The self-selecting community that lives here must be amongst the happiest in the world.

A relaxing finish to a wonderful month!
