Two of our cars got lost on the way to a concert at a township outside of Cape Town. The seven Whiffs who made it decided to perform on our own. We sang with several other choirs from Africa and the United States, including the Morgan State University choir.
Morgan State simply blew us away. Their gorgeous, soulful and powerful sound rocked the house. They were simply flawless: their soloists were incredible and all the members sang with absolute conviction. I just enjoyed being in the audience.

Yesterday, on Nelson Mandela's 91st birthday, Brian E., Andrew and I visited Robbins Island, home to the prison that held Mandela for nearly three decades. It was especially poignant seeing his prison cell and the limestone caves where he did his hard labor.
In the evening, we sang at a local university with the Morgan State choir and several other groups.

Today, Jay K. and I will head to the top of Table Mountain.
Tomorrow, the Whiffs will fly to France.
