The 5th day in SA my friends and I were on a SAS field trip for our world religions class (well three of us anyway, Jen was just along for the ride). It was called a three faiths tour. We went to the first mosque built in Cape Town, a Jewish museum, a synagogue, and St. Georges Cathedral. At the mosque our guild told us that one day a year these three places switch speakers. For example the Islamic leader will go speak at the synagogue; the Jewish rabbi would go speak at the Cathedral, and the catholic priest would go to the mosque. The Jewish museum was opened by Nelson Mandela and had a lot in it about the Jews involvement in apartheid. It was really interesting.
For dinner, after walking around for over an hour, we found a really good place to eat that served authentic African food. It was really good, and our waiter was very nice and entertaining and called a cab for us (after we had eaten for about 2 hours), so we wouldn’t have to walk back in the dark.
