Day Two

Arriving in Johannesburg
I was amazed at the social and economic diversity I saw right away when we landed in Johannesburg. I was really overwhelmed by the high walls that shelter the obviously wealthy houses that lay beyond them. On the streets, poor people were selling whatever items they could find to people who rode by in the cars. The diversity of the people here in this bustling, South African city is spectacular.
