South Africa - Day 17 - 18

April 7-8, 2010:


Here are some pictures from GF Jooste Hospital here Brad has been working. The hospital is located just outside of Cape Town - City Bowl, in one of the townships. Most of the population from Cape Town lives in the townships. They are small communities where most of the houses are made from sheet metal and tarps, etc and most just got electricity in the 1990's. The unemployment rate is around 30%. During the day, its quite safe...however, at night, it can be very dangerous. It's quite a drastic difference from the fancy houses and restraurants in the city.

The weather has been amazing! In the 70's and 80's so we've been hitting the beach to run or lounge while the sun sets. Anderson loves the water even though it is freezing cold. He would giggle and laugh when the waves rolled in. I could barely stand it and it was only coming up to my ankles...I can't imagine how cold it was for him. I love this picture below because of our footprints that trail behind us.
