Lymans are Leaving Africa

The Lymans leave Africa later today.

We are leaving our great little apartment (pictured- sort of- above) on the Groenkloof campus of the University of Pretoria for the very last time. We will say thank you to the security guards at the front gate for the last time and head for the O. R. Tambo International Airport for the grueling 17 hour flight to DC.

We could not have asked for a better year. We will miss so much: the people, the landscape, the animals, etc. We are amazed at what a great experience this has been for our family. (Mike)

It has been a year that is difficult to express in words. We will never forget this place or the people we have grown to love. We will miss so many things about Africa, but have learned so much by being here. We have been in Africa for almost a year and now, as we leave, Africa will forever be in us. (Amy)

Well it's been a geat year after all, none of us got mugged. My favortie thing has to have been the animals and doing all these Be-Awesome things. Like rappeling, hiking, horse riding, canoeing, rugby, soccer, mountin climbing,swimming, growing, and last and scariest getting charged by elephants THREE TIMES!!! Other than that it has been pretty much a 10 month Scout camp. I will miss it here but i wont miss the candy AMERICAN CANDY ROCKSSS!!!!!! But i will miss black people. (Try to guess who posted this)
