Hi Reid - Reid wrote about Richmond being the best small town in the Northern Cape. Did you get to see the art gallery in Richmond Reid?

Yes I did! It was beautiful. The town is extremely creative. I met a young man named Tino and he showed us around the MAP art gallery and he even showed us this black room where art is exhibited in the dark.
