Sunset and Saying Goodbye to the Karoo, South Africa

South Africa was my first trip abroad alone and I was going for 17 days.  I spent 1 week in the Karoo, on a cheetah game preserve, and 1 week in Cape Town.  That first week transformed me, I found laughter and happiness again.  I cried on my last day in the Karoo - cried and cried, hugged the staff  and cried some more (and if you knew me - I never cry.....) and they were tears of pure JOY:

"Traveling is like flirting with life.  It's like saying
     'I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station'......"
