Happy (Almost) Holidays From Cape Town!

Well, it doesn't look like December, and somehow I have already made it through a third of my GRS internship. What is going on!?!

It has been far far too long since my last blog post, I  know. But the last few months have pushed me in ways that makes Colby finals weeks look like a leisurely stroll. Currently, I am on my 9th straight day of work, and I will continue to go just about full throttle until Friday when we close for the holidays.

I know I won't be able to cover all that I want to, but here are some snapshots from the last couple months...and what a couple months it has been!

 Stay tuned in early January for pictures of my holiday adventures! The line-up includes: Victoria Falls, Kilimanjaro (Summiting on Christmas Day!), and the Okavango Delta in Botswana...not too shabby.
