Today we visited the Cape of Good Hope. How ironic is it that for five years, as I taught high school geography (among many other subjects), that I would teach them about the Cape of Good Hope. The point of Southern Africa where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans converge.
It was an awesome experience to stand there and look out into the big blue vastness and reflect on this past week and the two more weeks that we have left here in South Africa, but I think it was even more telling and moving for me personally to stand there at a place that I had introduced so many students to all those years. The water was a bright blue, the sun was beating down, the waves were crashing into shore, but I was there. Kaappunt!! Cape Point!
