Lovely Soweto. "Soweto" is short for "Southwest Township." The place was sad. <shocker> And pitiful. And home to hundreds of thousands. And 80 new babies a day. |

Ingenious use of construction materials in building houses. A common passageway in Soweto. |

On a tour of Soweto. The tour was not as crazy or cruel idea as it might seem. Soweto is brimming with postmodern history. A study in survival in a devolving world. |

One of the little markets in Soweto. |

On the train, waiting to leave Jo'berg going to Cape Town.. Note the expression of "Is this it for the next 20 hours?" Actually, the train wasn't all that bad. Reasonably safe (once you get through the train station) and full of interesting people. We met several locals and traveling business-types, willing to share their wine and a few stories. |
