Joburg - Then and Now

Hello Journeyers!
Happy (?) Monday! We had an incredible weekend. Cedric's parents are in SA and we spent the weekend with his mother. While browsing Facebook this morning these images caught my attention of Johannesburg - Then and Now. After looking at these photos I almost wish that I grew up in that era. It reminds me of my favorite movie The Notebook. I can just imagine it....*floating off to day dreamland now*....
