...and it's over

... bar the shouting at the closing ceremony tonight.

Today is the final day of the All Africa Games, and there's only one event schedules, the final in the men's football, and South Africa isn't competing, so this is our final medal tally: 62 gold, 58 silver, and 53 bronze.

We end the Games in third place behind Egypt (74 gold) and Algeria (70), while Algeria leads the overall medals tally with 204. The athletes start departing for home today. Most of them are exhausted and tired of boxed food, so can't wait to get back to home soil.

Those traveling with the charter plane leave tomorrow night at 10pm.

I'll post something on the final goings-on and a few mental meanderings here tonight.
