It’s been nearly two months since I left Lesotho and I’m just now getting to posting this… There was a nice long (too long) blog I was going to post but I didn’t feel it was up to snuff for a send off. The following paragraph is part of my original send off blog, the rest is newly written.
Today I bid adieu to Lesotho, a place I know well and love dearly. This past month has been a time of reflection, and a time of “lasts”. The last time I’ll backpack through the beautiful Drakensberg Range, the last time I’ll teach a class to my Form E students, the last time I’ll visit Mokhotlong town, the last time I’ll hitch-hike in Africa, the last time I’ll see some of my Peace Corps friends, the last time I’ll see my host family for some time, et cetera.
Following is a collection of my favorite photos during my last month in Lesotho. Included is a backpacking trip in which, I guided a group of volunteers from Sani Pass to Sehlabathebe National Park, a few street photos, Touching Tiny Lives photos, a going away ceremony for a friend, my going away ceremony, my friend Mothibeli’s church construction, a cow, and finally me.
Enjoy
This has been such a wonderful, life changing, fun, and exciting growth experience. I hope others may find enjoyment from my experiences, both written and visual, here in this blog. I would like to end with some wisdom from someone much more poetic than myself,
“The goal is to die with memories, not dreams.”
