"I live not in dreams, but in contemplation of a reality that is perhaps the future."
~Rainer Maria Rilke

I know what I see- There is grace at work, here.

Snapshots from Swaziland!

Just a few pictures from my trip to Swaziland in April, 2013. Enjoy!

Our permatent at Lidwala Backpackers Lodge in the Ezulwini Valley. It was heaven to fall asleep next to a stream to the sounds of crickets and monkeys in the trees.

Now THIS is what a vacation should be… Poolside, under a mango tree with monkeys. :)

Amanda and I, tackling the Usutu River one km at a time!

Of our group, Will definitely had all the “natural-talent” for white-water rafting. Ha!

Team Will and Zoe!

The Class Five rapid that launched Amanda and I out of our raft, tried to drown us, and then forced me quickly downriver and nearly over a very terrifying waterfall! It’s Africa! It’s an adventure!

The whole gang with our guide, Beke! Ready to tackle the Class Five!

Touring the glass-blowing factory, and trying to resist craft shopping!

We basically ate our way across South Africa and Swaziland…
And it was heaven!
