"Tell America 'hello' from Soweto."
"We love Americans in Soweto."
"Thank you for buying my handiwork. Please tell Americas Soweto wants them to visit here. We want to meet them."
"Welcome to Soweto. I hope you feel very comfortable and special here."
Just a few of the things I was told by those I met in Soweto this afternoon. I spent the afternoon in the township and came away with a totally different impression of what the place is like; its history, and its present-day. It was a very nice visit. I can't wait to share more about it. (I would share more and photos here, but the hotel internet is dreadful and is comically capped at 30MB.)
At any rate, a nice day here in Johannesburg. Oh, and topped off with a little delicious springbok at supper. Why are you both so cute and so tasty?! (Google springbok if you have no idea what I'm writing about.)
The African Craft Market is planned for tomorrow, then who-knows-what, then the long journey home.
