Three weeks left! I've been seeking out anything South Africa these days. Last night I saw 'Invictus', starring Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon as the captain of the rugby team. I don't know how accurate the movie was in regards to history, but it did show some good scenery. It was exciting to see Cape Town and other cities on the big screen, as well as to hear the South African accent. I also watched 'District 9', which takes place in Johannesburg. I highly recommend both movies.
I received 'Long Walk to Freedom', Nelson Mandela's autobiography, for Christmas. I'm only on page 80, but it's great so far. Mandela is such an important figure in South African history that I'm glad I'll have some background knowledge about him. I'll write more about the book once I get a little farther.
I expect these last three weeks to go quickly. I've got a few more things to take care of before I leave, but I've also got some fun times planned. Exciting times, these last few weeks!
