18/07/2011: Day 2 in Cape Town: Nelson Mandela Day

Scooter and Ann needed to study for the upcoming test, so Erin and I spent the morning walking down Long street, browsing through antique shops and books stores. The owner of one told us that it was Nelson Mandela's birthday (he turned 93) and many people were commemorating the even by doing 67 minutes of community service for the 67 years Mandela devoted to the struggle for humanity.
By the afternoon, Scooter and Ann had studied enough so we went grocery shopping, picking up food we'd need to make ourselves meals over the next few days. It was overwhelming being in a grocery store for the first time in ages with all the bright, colorful packaging filling the seemingly endless shelves.
