Today we truly felt like we are truly in Africa. We were invited as special guests to sit in on the taping of the annual concert of the SABC choir. SABC is the South Africa Broadcasting Company. Their choir has performed all over the world including Carnegi Hall, the World Cup, Pres Obama's inauguration and a command performance for Nelson Mandela. The music was incredible...... Some of the strongest vocal performances I've ever heard. Immagine Handle's Massia followed by a Zulu war song. Every now and then the ensamble would include some very creative in-place dancing, and the audience would go wild. I hope I can get some copies of the video when it's released, and be able to share it.

Tomorrow we are off to Botswana to meet with the Botswana Director of Public Affairs. We will diving past some of the more famous game reserves on the way. Hopefully I will have some good photos to sahare in my next blog when ww return Sunday.

By the way, Johannesburg thunderstorms ar unlike any I've ever seen before. We are having one right now. Sqpectacular !!!!!
