Mandela greets Sosie in South Africa

Stan's sister Solvieg and her husband, Bill, are in South Africa today. Got this note:

Just a quick note from Johannesburg, where we actually saw Nelson Mandela this morning! He waved to our bus from his upstairs balcony. So unexpected... Travel is full of the unexpected, isn't it? By the way, did you know that South Africa is the only nation to imprison Churchhill, Ghandi, and Mandela? Uffda.

Off to Victoria Falls in the morning. We expect to see hippos on the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe and then elephants in Chobe National Park in Botswana. But who knows?
