With the Area Office closed on Monday, 21 March 2011 in observance of Human Rights Day, Ron and I invited Elder and Sister Bert and Charla Nielsen (Humanitarian senior missionary couple from California) for a day in the countryside.

Driving one hour north to Pretoria we visited Freedom Park with displays set amidst walls of intricate rock work (photos three and four).

Our drive turned westward to Hartebeesport for lunch and browsing through two of our favorite shops, Jasmyn farmer's market where all the displays of produce, meat and bakery goods are written in Afrikaans and Just Sun Africa taxidermy store with fascinating animal displays and crafts.

Along the roadways were displayed for sale a wide selection of household goods, crafts and produce; including roasted ears of corn being sold by a woman seated in photo below.

In a township on a hillside boys were flying a homemade kite in the breezy sunshine (final photo).
