My brother and I ran out to our Stellenbosch University (our alma mater) on Sunday to drive around, and to stop here and there.
A major remodeling of the main wing of the Faculty of Engineering is underway.The buildings for the individual departments of the Faculty of Engineering look a little different from 40 years ago, with lettering and new windows. The engineering library is now called the ‘knowledge center’ (Afr. kennissentrum). Hmm.A little house remodeled into offices, across from the Faculty of Engineering.Here’s Victoria Street in summer time, with the trees a neon green, and the sky azure blue. The historic dormitories of Stellenbosch University as well as administrative buildings are found here.The tennis courts where I had spent countless hours, are still there, as is Helshoogte mens’ residence, and Simonsberg mountain in the distance.Red Square with its sun dial.
