More Eye Candy for Mara's Mom

Apparently I have reached this month's flickr capacity, so I'm splurging on my ftp space. Enjoy

take a good long look: this is the coolest outfit you will ever see.


uh...yeah... So Swaziland is the place to go for hiking

Plus my profile picture has been changed to reflect my most heinous Afrikaner hairdo. Next time, I consult the Kenyan ladies.

Thanks so much for all of your donations to the Kgwale le Mollo Foundation! Rest assured the money will go to a good cause. There's still time to donate for those of you who want to. CAF needs to receive donations by May 15 so one final push will help!

Swaziland

I traveled to Swaziland with Mara and Kat. We shacked up with a volunteer living and working in Pigg’s Peak. In addition to indulging our tastes in some lovely Swazi crafts, we did some great hiking. I’ve got several pictures from a hike up the second highest mountain in Swaziland, which is called something like Booga-booga.

But that’s where my pictures end. Because this blog is subject to the surveillance of the Peace Corps (my favorite advocate of freedom of expression), I probably should not go into details, but my camera died in Malalotja Nature reserve while stuck up a mountain in a freak hail storm at night. Hypothermia was staved off by… survival nudity. In any case, my digital camera did not survive the storm.
