So the weather this past weekend was *absolutely* gorgeous. On Saturday I went to the Apartheid Museum. Below is a link to my pictures -- with some good descriptions. I was almost in tears at a couple of points in the museum. One of those points is in the pictures -- you'll be able to guess which one.
I was talking with the driver on the way home from work on Monday and he was telling me what it was like for him.. He said that he spent 2 weeks in detention for barely missing curfew one night. Even today the sight of a man in a military uniform makes the hair on his neck stand up.....
A woman in the office (originally from Cape Town) was talking about the protests she participated in. She said there was one march in particular where everyone painted themselves a bright color (she was purple) and the police were yelling at everyone demanding to know what race they really were, because they couldn't tell through the paint.
Hard to believe that was not that long ago.
