News From The Rover
Hey Kaleo, its been a while again since I last posted. Much has been going on in my life, I've travelled alot of miles. On November 14th I left Canada for South Africa, didn't get there till the 16th. So many lay overs, such long flights. Needless to say I was welcomed with open arms by my mate Nick in the Jo-berg airport. The Next 6 weeks broadened my horizons in so many ways.
Four of us did a massive road trip, and had countless adventures.
Hiked to the end of the Cape of Good Hope, went on wine tastings, climbed table mountain on a clear day. A sunset sailing cruise in the evening. I jumped off the highest bungy jump in the world. Went horseback riding through indigenous forests along the garden route. Suffered 38celcious in the heart of the Karoo (desert).
Camped and went on Safari's in Kruger National Park; nearly caught Malaria on the Mozambique border. Got wet in the exotic bush of Byde River Canyon. Hawked at every corner by poor black people of all sexes and ages. Enjoyed the sun and luxury of Sun City Resort, once parcially owned by Michael Jackson.
All this was amazing, but it is stooped compared to the joy I experienced from the good company and genuine acceptance I recieved from the South Africans I spent time with. Everywhere I went, Nick and his friends and family welcomed me in as a brotehr in such a moving way. The crime and uncertainty that is South Africa causes friends and family to stand together in ways that you so rarely find in Our Western world.
As bizzare as it sounds I left the hot South African Summer just before X-mas and have been bumming around the U.K. all holidays. An old work college here, extended family there. Now I face the daunting task of finding a job and a place to call home in this Dog-eat-dog U.K. workforce. I must be patient, yet aggresive. The truth is God is going to have to guide me and open windows. Where the next step lies only he knows.
I don't miss Canada I love this sense of unknown and uncertainty; its like I'm time travelling. I spent a whole 4hours in a different Decade before even one K5 could potentially get there. You lot in BC were in a different Decade for eight hours. Wierd! Even though I don't miss the Canadian Cities and Landscapes, (except Mt. Wash) I really miss the people I love in Canada. I wish I could keep you all in my suitcase and share all my adventures with you all. Ah well, the blog will have to do.
Your Prayers are always needed
