Off to rustenberg for the next round match of USA and GHA. Soots of travel with a car, plane, another car, then another car!!!
Did about 7 hours of travel for this 1 90 minute match, crazy!
We are staying at a little local place in the middle of a farm. The son picks us up and proceeds to show the white bigoted side of south Africa. It's hard to stomach this as someone from the "free world" and I'm trying to allow for this being 'normal' thinking here in many angles. But it sure is hard.
There is so much anger and blame towards everyone and everything else and yet no sense of accountability or responsibiliy to be part of the change for something better. As they yell in Afrikaans at each other you can pick up the odd word (usually swear words) and mostly the anger they have.
South Africa as a country will have a long way to go to bring this country into a more balanced economic place with this anger harvested at it's foundation.
Happy things today
Finished a book, met 3 cute happy dogs, and saw the USA play. Blessings for a good life.
