We were recently tremendously blessed with a trip to a region of South Africa called the Eastern Cape. We visited two cities: Mthatha and East London. East London is located by the ocean and Mthatha is located 2 hours inland surrounded by gorgeous rolling green hills. Although the scenery was beautiful, it was the people we met who most impressed us!
This is a picture of "Mma Prof" (in pink), Percy, and a young couple who is taking a year off work to seek God fully. They are currently living with the Ntintilis. |
There was A LOT of laughter throughout our time together! It was hard to get a shot when they weren't cracking up! This is Professor Ntintili and Percy. |

This is a wonderful lady who offered us her Bed and Breakfast free of charge just to bless us! |
Qunu (Nelson Mandela's birth place) is in a village close to Mthatha so we took an afternoon to head over to the museum. |
The Mandela museum wasn't that impressive but the area surrounding it was breathtakingly beautiful! These are the hills where Mandela grew up herding cattle and playing as a boy. |
These school girls kept wanting to touch my hair and my skin! I guess they don't get many white people around this area because they made me feel like a celebrity the way they clamored over me! |
This is a rock that Mandela used to slide down. Of course the school girls came sliding down giggling after me. |
This lovely couple hosted us in their amazing home one night in East London. |
We had to learn to use the timer option on the camera since we rarely saw any other people out on the beaches. |

Rocky cliffs overlooked the ocean. We managed to hike up one to get some better pictures. |
Just a lone boat on the shore made for a good picture I thought. |
Ready, Set, GO! |
