Mum and I visit South Africa in 2007 and 2012 to learn about the life and times of my great grandfather, Vincent Lawrence (1872-1965). Lawrence worked with Gandhi when the Mahatma was in South Africa, got involved in the struggle against apartheid, and helped found St. Anthony's Church in Durban.
Today is mother's day, and of course I'm here in South Africa with "Mamma." I made her this little comic as a mother's day card.Today we went out with Uncle Raymond, Auntie Saroj, and Thanusha, for lunch out at Wilson's Warf. The food was only so-so, but the people there were very nice, and we had a lovely view of the water, etc. We also made a short trip to the Musgrave Center, to get some supplies. Mum and I are back at the cottage now. We made a brief call to Dad, and mum just got off the phone with my cousin Hyacinthia. Unfortunately we seem to have run out of time on the cell phone, so we are back to being incommunicado for now...
We still need to figure out a car, and possibly arrange for some kind of security for some of the shoots. Our relatives have warned us about the dangers of crime, and so it only makes sense to proceed cautiously.
