For the past 3 days Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela's body has laid in state at the Union Buildings in Pretoria. Tomorrow, Sunday, he'll be laid to rest in his hometown of Qunu, in the Eastern Cape Providence. The above picture is looking from the Union Buildings toward the grey enclosure where his body has been on view. There has been a somber mood in South Africa this past week. Nelson Mandela is viewed as the father of a democratic South Africa. He was an amazing man.
Wow...what timing that you are in South Africa during this momentous occasion. May you be of comfort to the people there at this time.
