I have been dreading writing this
blog because it just makes me miss everything about Cape Town that much more.
It has been more than a month since I have been back but yet it feels like I
was never there. My experience still feels so surreal and I am not sure if that
is a good thing or a bad thing. Currently, Melanie has been posting all the
pics she took during the trip and looking at them brings back so many great
memories and events that I totally forgot that occurred.
Settling back home was a lot easier
than what I expected but now that I have seen my family and friends I am ready
to head back to Cape Town. My life style there was totally different compared
to the one that I live here but I LOVED it. Every day was a new adventure
whether it was hiking, going to the beach, going to a museum or simply
exploring the city. I guess its true what my aunt told me its back to reality;
now that I am home my life consists of working, going to the gym and my summer
class that will start in July (oh and my trip to Florida very excited for that).
I must say my biggest challenge
since I have been back is telling people about my experience. I have so much to
say about it and I do not want to respond with a simple “it was amazing” but it
sucks when you can tell people want a simple recap and not the one-hour
conversation I could have with them.
I guess it is pretty obvious how
much I miss cape town and my Cape Town Fam but now I just have to take things
day by day, carry my memories with me and see where the journey I call life
takes me.
Side note: I have officially
embraced the name Manny but it just not the same when it’s not one of my Cape
Town peeps saying it.
