And Tutu too.

Today we got out of the house at 8:30 (maybe closer to 8:40) and piled into a van to visit the South African Museum's collection of Rock Art and talk about representation and interpretation.

We got to St George's cathedral and went into the crypt when we saw DESMOND TUTU! It was amazing. I couldn't believe my eyes -- I went back and forth a couple times, trying to figure out if it was really him. We all got to shake his hand and take a picture with him (forthcoming) and then he was gone! Apparently he goes there every Friday for mass and a smoothie, and our host had engineered for us to be there when he was. He was so nice and happy and small!
