Hello everyone! We are finally in Capetown where we are staying with three other girls and finally have internet! We have traveled all over the country starting in Jo-burg. While we were there we toured the city, visited the apartheid museum and visited the township of Soweto. I am constantly amazed at the warm hearts of everyone here. Everywhere you turn there are beautiful children and people waving and smiling. The picture to the side is of children outside playing school, they were yelling "hey whities" at us in Zulu and writng what they saw up on the wall in chalk. They all loved posing for picutres and doing anything to get our attention.
In this township we visited a two room house where we talked with a woman who lived there. She kindly let us into her home where she told us she lived with her seven sisters.
The rest of the day we traveled around visiting the home of Nelson Mandelas wife and other historical spots as well as eating yet another delicious meal.
We stayed at a hotel called The Africa Center and it was absolutly beautiful! The building was brightly painted and there were plenty of cool places to sit outside.
There is so much more to say about our few days in Soweto and Jo-burg but maybe I will get back to you on that! : )
