I’ve just returned from 5 days in Cape Town, and beyond merely being relieved to be back in a city that FEELS like a city, complete with grit and density and the spirit that Joburg has- it seems the Jacaranda have exploded in my absence. Jacaranda trees are everywhere in Gauteng, and their purple blossoms litter the ground everywhere I look, the formal announcement of spring. (or exam season- at Wits, a popular saying goes, “once you see the Jacaranda bloom, you know it’s already too late to start studying for your exams!”) Melville, the part of Joburg I’m living in is lined with them- and they are breathtaking. Just thought I’d share… I'm sad I won't get to see the season truly run its course, but I'm headed home on Friday…
