Tomorrow is our last day in South Africa. After a couple of meetings with the Provincial parliament in the morning, we are headed to the airport in the afternoon.
Today's meetings were at the National Parliament and were fairly interesting. We met with several different party leaders and had lunch with the Deputy Mayor of Cape Town. They were having a speaker on the American Presidential election. He didn't add anything new to what we already knew about the election, however I would have liked to be able to stay for questions. Unfortunately, we had to leave to get back to an appointment.
I'm sure tomorrow will be a very similar day. And then the long flights home. I'm hoping to sleep quite a while on the plane from Johannesburg to Amsterdam. We'll see how that goes.
I'm guessing I won't have time to post again before I get home. Most of the rest of my week will be running somewhere or another.
