"Skies of Blue & Clouds of White."

Eeew..this one is really blurry. Sorry about that! But you can see the "Modest Living" of these conditions. That round thing behind the main structures, I slept in a hut just like that!

"Sweet Child of Mine" That's a picture of one of my host sisters named Tombazonke who was a bit older, holding my little host brother Guleku-the youngest of the family. Ndomisu just happened to pop in as always-hehe. I'll never forget how they all took care of each other.

"Way To the Beach!" This was on the way to the beach with some of my little host brothers and sisters in the rural area. It was on my last day with them.

"To Live Like This." It's a little ironic that there is this kind of lookout right next to a rural school with all of its conditions.

"Where The Streets Have No Name" And yes, that is a song...by U2

"Life From Both Sides Now" If you guys know that Joni Mitchell song (one of my favorite songs and my mom's as well) you'll understand the title of this picture. I call it that because it makes me think of all of the things that I've seen here so far in South Africa. The extreme highs, and the lows that represent this country-the 1st world, and the 3rd world, the rich and the extreme poor...The picture has both beauty and an ominous sense as well with the clouds above. It's life from all angles.

Another picture that I took from on top of a mountain-the same day that I saw where "Blood Diamond" was filmed. Here's South Africa's true gorgeousness. I'm so fortunate-some people go through their entire lives never seeing things like this. I'm so lucky that I have.

"Stoned Memories" I took this picture at the Apartheid Museum and it's a memorial representing all of the people who died for freedom during the Soweto protests. One stone, stands for 1 person killed. Can you believe it?

"Clarity" I took this just as the sun was setting in the rural area. This is the view from my rural home-how lucky are they that they get to go to bed to that every night? :)

Here's a picture of Ndomisu and Senele that I don't think I ever posted haha. I call this one "Dancin' Fools" I miss them so much :)
I also posted an entry of text today as well that's written below this post :)
