There is a land not so far from here that puts a smile on my face and a spring in my step. It’s a special place where warthogs run free, bucks prance at sunset, and ostriches stand guard over the laundry. It’s a place where the views are spectacular, where the landscape displays every possible shade of green, and sunsets are perfectly pastel. It’s also a place where women bend over fires to dye reeds the most brilliant shade of pink, someone serves you impala stew around a fire, and there exists a dance club that makes you want to relocate your home to just down the road so you can go there every weekend. This place is Swaziland and it has captured a little piece of my heart. Kathleen and I spent just 2 short nights there walking through the hills and riding horses amongst zebra. I’m ready to go back.
