Last week I made time for a quick visit to the Keyes Art Mile, a collection of art galleries, restaurants and shops on Keyes Avenue in Rosebank.

In celebration of Heritage Day, the Johannesburg Heritage Foundation put on a bonanza of historical tours all over the city. I chose three.

These are exciting times for downtown Jozi. There are so many cool places opening, lots of which are outside the hubs of Maboneng and Braamfontein.

I spent a day traveling along the Ribola Art Route in rural Limpopo, where artists create beautiful woodcarvings, pottery, and music in harsh conditions.

I went to the monthly Pic Nic New Town event at Work Shop New Town, and it was awesome. So much great stuff happening in Newtown -- you should go.

A look at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Joburg's Maboneng Precinct -- built in 1899 and recently reopened as a gallery/retail space -- pre- and post-renovation.

My second visit to Lindfield House, the most interesting Victorian Museum/afternoon tea house in Joburg (and probably in the world).

Yesterday I held my first #2SummersBlogClass , with nine fabulous bloggers/aspiring bloggers, at Bridge Books in downtown Joburg. It was the best.

A quick post about the iThemba Tower, an art installation made of 7000 recycled plastic bottles at the Spaza Gallery in Troyeville, Johannesburg.

I took a tour of Joburg's mosques and minarets with the Johannesburg Heritage Foundation, visiting mosques in Midrand, Northcliff, and the CBD.

A notice about my upcoming course on blogging and social media at Bridge Books in downtown Joburg.

A quick review of Hlamvu Afrocentric Boutique, my new favorite spot for African-print clothing and gifts in Jozi.
