Curtis in Soweto

It was fun hanging out with all the kids around here. I was with Curtis, and I took a photo of him that ended up being his profile photo. You can see it here!

We started our Africa trip in Johannesburg where we settled for a few days to prepare for several weeks in Namibia. While there, we decided to go to into Soweto to visit the townships one day. I didn’t know much about them, and I was a little on-edge, but I was with a local guide and everything felt good there. And right after we arrived, we were pretty much totally surrounded by kids. When that happened, I felt completely at ease. Sadly, I only got to spend a small part of the afternoon there… but I enjoyed it so much that I look forward to going back another time.
