6/28/09
We woke up Sunday to clouds and rain. The elephants proved to be pretty good roommates. We heard them every now and then, but were able to get a good night’s sleep. After a delicious breakfast at the park restaurant, we went into the field for one last encounter before hitting the road. The skies cleared the closer we got to Cape Town. We stopped along the N2 for a quick lunch and souvenir shopping. We were back at Perspectives by 6pm.
I changed quickly and headed back in the car to visit the hospital. I was to work with the 7 year old patient scheduled for theatre the next day. I also planned the visit with Sister Sara’s night shift. Since she had been on nights for the last few weeks, I hadn’t gotten to see much of her, much less say goodbye. Thankfully, this was the case because when I got to the hospital, I learned that the patient’s theatre was (again!) canceled and rescheduled. This time, for Novemeber. Caroline, she’s all yours :).

me and sister sara
I spent about an hour on C2 sitting with Sara and the boys. Sara, being my age, has been a wonderful person to work with and get to know. Not only skilled in her profession, but so attentive to the children. Their appreciation shows in their affection for her. Sara is currently debating her next move (job, apt etc) and I know all too well that position. I am confident she will make the right decision and wish her all the best.
6/29/09With my final days in Cape Town upon me, I wanted to make sure I fit in a few of my favorite activities. I went into work to say my final goodbyes before heading home to start wrapping up. I got a new suitcase from Wooly’s and brought it home to start filling it up. Afterwards, I headed to Lion’s Head for a hike. Even though it was my 7th time up, it never ceases to awe me. The mountains, the ocean, the city, and the hike itself make Lion’s Head one of my favorite things about Cape Town. I’d my MOST favorite if there weren’t so many things that I loved about the city.
