After an extremely late night celebrating our departure from Cape Town we headed to Johannesburg. It was really sad to leave the crew in Cape Town, but knowing we’ll be back in a month makes it a lot easier to deal with.
Instead of staying at a lodge like in Cape Town, we are actually staying on the campus of the school in an apartment that adjoins to one of the classrooms. It’s a really strange set up. I’m not exactly sure what this place was before it was a school. There’s a barn, pool and playing field on the grounds. Inside, it is like a maze. What was once a bar is now a classroom, the garages are the computer labs. There is also an indoor Jacuzzi tub in this glass room. It’s a little strange being here with just the three of us in this huge compound. I’m a little spooked, but I’m sure it will be fine. At least we have a boy with us and don’t have to go investigate any scary noises or kill any big bugs that come visit us.
Tomorrow is Nelson Mandela’s 91st birthday and everyone here does 67 minutes (not sure what the significance of this number is) of community service. We are going to go into the Alexandra Township and spend time at a hospice with the idea that we are going to care for the caregivers. In the morning we’re going to make food to take with us there and then spend some time listening.
