More Good-byes

Of course one of the hardest things about moving is having to say good-bye to friends - which we've been doing a lot of the past couple of weeks over "one more dinner/coffee/outing"...

Okay so Wolfgang was crying at this point and Enkidu was looking away from the camera - but that's an accurate reflection of the moment! Randy and Heather, I can't even begin to express how grateful we are for your friendship and how much we are going to miss our endless afternoons-turned-to-evenings-complete with endless food and conversation!

Jim with good buddies Mark and Fritz - sorry can't put it all in one sentence what these guys mean to us both!!

Jim with Sizwe, a regular coffeetime friend (and also a student at UCT). Maybe we'll see you in Wheaton next time, Siz?

Jul with Margit - our neighbor and Bible study "groupie" and energetic friend always up for anything. This photo was taken on the ferry as we came into the harbour at Robben Island.

The two of us with Blanche, one of our "first" friends here, who loaned us all sorts of household goods and with whom we had good convos and laughs over lengthy dinners and glasses of wine.
