    The Kingdom of Swaziland.

    The Descent. Swaziland is one of the most beautiful places I have set my eyes on. It's beauty is that of natural ruggedness. It's a huge agricultural society, where you see cows, goats and chickens on just about every field and a few roads :D. Politically this is the last ruling monarchy in Africa, run by His Majest King Mswati III. You see his photo in just about every shop and restaurant, I think it's required by mandate. For a more of a visual taste of Swaziland, there are more photos through the link.



    This country's beauty leaves me awe struck. After crossing the border I immediately felt a wave relief. It's so much more relaxed here! Not all the traffic, noise and buildings. Just mountains beyond mountains...





    The farther I get in, the more and more houses and farms appear. A simple life.



    This is the outlook from Emmanuel Wesleyan Bible College outside of Manzini. We stayed here for the two nights we were there.




    The roadside tuck shops and vendors are pretty much everywhere. You can find all kinds of treasures at a "special price today, just for you".





    Some are just excited to wave!

    Overall it was a great experience. The landscape is a treasure in itself. More stories on our projects and individual lives to come. In the meantime, cross a bridge or two.



    for now with Love
