A Fond Farewell
As my time at MBC comes to a close I am only just now beginning to understand how short a time six weeks truly is. When I left the states to start traveling six weeks felt like it would be plenty of time get to know the city of Cape Town and the boys who attend MBC. I was dead wrong.
Sunset at Cape Point Vineyard Market
Cape Town is a massive place with so many cool things to do I feel as though I’ve barely scratched the surface. The markets, or which there are many, are one of the most incredible things that I have experience while I have been here. If you come for a visit you must check out Bluebird Market, Neighbourgoods Market, Cape Point Vineyard Market and Hout Bay Market. They may all be markets but each offers a unique experience that cannot be missed.
Themba, Frankie and Asi enjoying the surf
As for the boys, they are all so incredible, not just as surfers, but as human beings. Their desire to learn more about other cultures and get to know the volunteers never ceases to amaze me. They are all becoming fine young men. I wish I had more time to watch them continue to grow into themselves and see everything that they will accomplish in their lives. It is with a sad heart that I bid the MBC and the friends I have made here goodbye.
Until next time,
