#History - 108 posts

I started 2Summers 15 years ago this month. In recognition of this milestone, I reminisce about one Joburg blog post from each of the past 15 years.

I drove to KZN to watch the Comrades Marathon -- the Ultimate Human Race. Here is a day-by-day account of my experience and survival tips.

The Blogitects spent two days at Stuurmansfontein, a historica corbelled house -- kind of like a stone igloo -- in the Karoo

I spent an evening walking through Soweto for Soweto Night Out, a new tourism initiative founded by Sowetan Nomsa Mazwai.

St. Mary's Cathedral in downtown Joburg is one of the city's most important historic landmarks. I had never heard of it until last week.

Thorsten and I spent half a day at the Cradle of Humankind to experience Howard Geach's Human Origins Tour.

My friends Fabian and Lavinia are holding a special art tour in Noordgesig on 16 March. Space is limited to 20 people so sign up now.

We spent four days at Mapungubwe National Park, at the northern tip of South Africa, and experienced spectacular cultural and natural wonders.

I visited Lavinia and Fabian Otto in Noordgesig, on the northeastern edge of Soweto, and checked out the neighborhood library.

In celebration of Heritage Month, I went on a tour of churches in Coronationville and Bosmont with the Joburg Heritage Foundation.

We visited the 2-billion-year-old Vredefort Dome -- earth's largest and oldest known meteorite crater, which is only 1.5 hours from Joburg.

My boyfriend Thorsten created a series of linocut prints honoring Brixton monuments. I tried (and failed) to capture his prints in photos.
