The abridged version: Joburg

We arrived in Johannesburg on Tuesday morning, and our musician friends Zim Ngqawana and Ayanda Sikade picked us up at the airport.

We are staying here at the Zimology Institute which is a farm south of Joburg.



I'm domesticating myself and learning how to cook. I am the best cheese-grater that ever lived!



We're blessed to be surrounded by so many fine jazz musicians. Here is a list of who we've heard play so far:

Zim Ngqawana
Ayanda Sikade
Nduduzo Makhathini
Mthunzi Mvubu
Sakhile
Bulali Mboxela
Lucky Nyalasa





Last night we walked to buy vegetables at a close township. The sunset was breathtaking.





Tomorrow Erin and I are going to stay at a hostel and visit the Apartheid Museum. I can't wait.

In coming posts I will add much more to this post about my time thus far in South Africa.
