You guys are great!!! South Africa? I intentionally avoided it thinking it was probably very much like the U.S. of all cities in countries in Africa...but this sounds very interesting.

Thanks so much Blessed and Soror RitaMae,

Also, I recommend Ghana. Two of the best trips I've ever taken in my life have been to Ghana. Start in Accra then work your way around to Kumasi (Ashanti Kingdom) and then to the slave castles in Cape Coast and Elmina. It's a meaningful AND very affordable trip.

Capetown is pretty modern but if you get out of the touristy areas the countrysides and beaches are BEAUTIFUL! I visited several of the townships while I was there.
