Hi friends and family.
This summer has been... out of this world amazing. I met so many new people, kept in great contact with everyone, saw a few incredible people marry other incredible people, worked in new places, accepted new challenges. I walked everywhere and anywhere and went on adventures all over the city, and the countryside for that matter. Played ball in full force and basically just lived up my life the best I know how. The weather was perfection, with it's on/off heat. Hardly any rain and the week of the heat wave (which was much needed!!). But, as you know, it has all come to a halting cold autumn onset.. autumn is gorgeous but we went from swimsuits and tanning to coats and boots in a matter of mere days. *sighh*
So Africa plans have come together a little more solidly since my last post, I'm going with my bud Matt and we signed up for a 32 day tour starting in Nairobi (nicknamed by my book as Nairobbery... ) and ending in Johannesburg. We will do tons and tons of cool things in between and I will be photo documenting it all the time! I have no idea what internet access will be like, or if we will be even spending time at cafes. I'm hoping to be so busy and caught up in the culture, food, scenery , animals, adventures and friends that I cannot even post, but I will try try try to give you a little something to reach me by at least a few times ;)
I will come back to Canada November 22nd. You will hardly know I Was gone!
xox, love always
Jess
"I think that ghosts like
The cooler weather
When leaves turn colour
They get together
And walk along ways
These old back roads
Where no one lives and
And no one goes" -HW
