One of the highlights of our trip to South Africa was a weekend spent in Grahamstown, a historic community founded by the 1820 British settlers. We went to Grahamstown for the National Arts Festival. This is a smaller and less industrial city than Port Elizabeth, somewhat more quaint and more English (architecturally anyway) than most of PE. The festival was partly on the grounds of Rhodes University and partly in the city center. It was very busy and colorful with some very cool artwork. At bottom is the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. George, a beautiful and historic church which opened for services in 1830. At right, you can see our students ready to cross the street.
