Leaving South Africa

We are sitting at the airport in George, waiting for our first flight of four in our epic journey home.  We left Tsitsikamma this morning and stopped for a few hours in the charming town of Knysna, on a large lagoon off the shore.  We had a chance for one last walk, one last coffee, one last gift purchase, and judging from the number of carry-out containers on the bus, it was the last chance for an especially yummy piece of cake as well.  After another bus ride, here we are at the airport.  We'll fly from here to Johannesburg, then to Paris, Detroit, and end in Elmira.  We should be back on campus by 10 PM tomorrow night.
