Day 83
We arrived at Mangochi for our Close of Service Conference, where camels
greeted us at the gate. We met after a
delicious lunch to choose our dates for COS.
Drumroll, please... I got April 11th! I’m sad to say good-bye but excited to see
what’s next. A fun-filled Euro Trip is
in the works...ease my way back into the States.
Day 84
Ride, ride, ride that camel! After
our sessions of whatever and whatever, we set out to ride camels! The camel guides could command the camels to
stand up, sit down, come and go. It was
wild. And there was a baby camel that
pranced around awkwardly in the sand.
Yessir, we rode camels on the beach.
When a camel stands up and you are on its back, it is very
disconcerting. It feels like the camel
is falling up. And after an easy ride on
the beach, the camel sits once again, which feels like you might crash and burn
at any minute. We were ga-ga for the
camels.
Day 85
Our last full day of COS conference ended with a delicious braai, music by
DJ Renee, a bonfire and dancing. Oh the
dancing! We danced and danced like it
was nobody’s business. Everyone – Health
’11, Cornelius, Eliza, Irene and John... It felt like we were dancing with
everything we had. It was just so
perfect. The best way to end our
service.
Day 86
We left Mangochi mid-morning and Katie and I arrived in Blantyre where I
promptly wanted to fall asleep, but not without homemade pizza! Visiting Katie is always a good time...even
when you’re just sitting around watching Modern Family and eating pizza. Simple enough, but Katie is the sparkle to
the day.
