Sunday was my last afternoon with the Marshall family in Ocean View. Alice got teary-eyed as she hugged me goodbye because she said she felt like Kayla and I had become part of her family in the 9 days that we stayed in their home.
Staying at that home was highly uncomfortable because I was with complete strangers that spoke a different language and live in a culture different from my own, but I learned so much through it all and I made some friends that I will never forget.
I'm now staying at the Bible Institute dorms in Kalk Bay and when I sit in the dining room I can look out the window and see the beach stretching out for miles. We're in an area that's very different from Ocean View. There are shops and cafes down the road and we can take the train into the city.
When I think about how much Cape Town reminds me of San Francisco, it makes me miss home and it makes me excited about going back, but, when I think about leaving next week and I look back at all that has happened on this trip, I feel so sad that it's almost over.
