This is it!

My six-month mission in Sudan has come to an end! Tomorrow, I will be leaving Africa. I am not looking forward to the long journey (Khartoum/Jeddah/Frankfurt/New York), but Inshallah, I will get some sleep on the planesssssss! This week has been quite busy w/ good-bye dinners and get-togethers, so I am feeling pretty exhausted.

I had a very good experience here. Met some incredible people and really enjoyed learning about the Sudanese culture.
Khartoum; “the city of dust”, where the two Niles meet and the air is hot, think and arid will always be in my memories. Particularly the sight of women wearing long sleeves turtlenecks, socks and gloves under 100F and the fine sand fog that was always in the air, stayed on my skin and turned my clothes to a reddish yellow…

I hope that for those of you who followed this blog, I made the entries interesting enough. I tried! It’s really hard to put into words every little thing that amazed me here! But, with time, I am sure I will get to tell you more stories in person.

Thanks for your support!
