Every year, the university town of Grahamstown hosts a 10 day arts and music festival. Artists, musicians, college students, tourists, locals, Africans, Afrikaaners, rastas, and gypsys descend on the town to enjoy colorful art, music, and food. Deon and Tanja, our generous tour guides, loaded Moni and I into the back of their car and whisked us away for a few days. Highlights for us were Moni's performance as "Bloody Mary Vodka-tini," the Russian ballerina in the improv-comedy play, "Raiders"; groovy South African jazz fusion tunes; and shopping in the Village Green, a giant arts and crafts market in tents and the open air.
