South African History in Jo'burg

Sunday was spent learning about the rich South African history in Jo'burg with a visit to the Apartheid Museum and a tour of Soweto (Sew-way-too), which is short for Southwest Township. We visited the former home of Nelson Mandela, which is a traditional "matchbox" home in the township, which has been turned into a museum. After living there for only 11 days after he was released from prison, he had to leave because there were too many journalists visiting. Down the street from Mandela's old home is another Nobel Prize Winner, Desmond Tutu. In fact, we just read in the paper that he had just returned to Jo'burg from negotation talks in Kenya - yes, we are keeping abreast of the latest news in that country. We'll try to upload photos when we get a chance...for now the links will have to do.
