Exotic Dish


I passed on sheep's head and tried ostrich as my only exotic dish. It was great! It tasted like pepper steak, I think because it was made with some sort of red curry it looked like a red meat too.

Night Out on the CAPE TOWN!


This was the one night I did venture out to the night club with the rest of the students. And yes, they party like we do except they listen to a lot of techno or house music. I'm pictured with roomies Ruby & Khimmara.

South African Hospitality at its Finest!


Sharon and her husband Ralf Henkel were so extraordinarily kind to us. This is one of the dinners she held in her home. Her husband is the best German cook I've met, nevermind he's the only German cook I've ever met. Sharon is also a SA law student and is about to graduate. Yippee!

Constitutional Court Justice as Professor

Justice Zak Yacoob sits on the highest Court in the land of South Africa. The Constitutional Court is equivalent to our Supreme Court. He is blind, and the most amazing intellect I've ever had the privilege to meet and to learn from, on a daily basis. He posed with my fellow NCCU Law students on the final day of class. I don't think we would have smiled as much, after his take home final exam... because it was a BEAST!

My Roomies


I share an apartment with three young ladies; however, two are pictured here with me.  They are Rosa (from University of Puerto Rico) and Khimarra (from NCCU).  Missing is Ruby from University of Detroit (Mercy).

Save the Cheetahs


We visited a Cheetah Reserve. The safari is in a couple weeks during our brief recess.

Long Walk to Freedom


This is the statute of Nelson Mandela who took his long walk to freedom from this prison, where he spent his last two years of incarceration. I am planning a trip to Robben Island later, that is where he spent most of his 27 years in prison. You have to ferry to the island and the wind has been really bad here, this week. And most importantly, school is taking up more time too.
