South Africa Day 16: My Final Thoughts On South Africa

Over the next 2 days of travel to return home, I thought a lot about my time in South Africa.  I had heard a quote by the President of the country, Thabo Mbeki, that really resonated with me.  He said, "I am like a cosmic wanderer, driven by the winds to land where they will."  The winds took me to Africa and now I could not get her out of my mind.  Is it possible that the reason why she touched me so deeply is that she is the birthplace of humankind?  Is she in my DNA and I am forever connected to her?  As I walked along Africa's earth, I walked along my roots.  Mother Africa.  I will surely miss her, but I know that I will return...many, many times.
