Unforgetable moments from Zimbabwe holiday...

the magic of an African sunrise
laughing until my sides hurt
chatting with Kylo about books and music
ice-cold Malibu & coke in 40 degree heat
the clear call of a fish eagle
precious time with precious family
the sky ablaze with the setting sun
the peace and quiet on the farm
the rest and relief from responsibility
a lion's groan far off in the night
"padkos"
hearing how my grandparents met
endless road trips and sore bums
catching breem off the side of the "the tub"
"popping squats in the bush"
a rainbow around the golden sun on a bright-blue day
celebrating two birthdays
piles of biltong
a great grey beast on a Kariba shore
"party at the baobab"
playing speed with Jess
stolen moments with my sweet husband
visiting an ancient grave
hilarious billboards in the capital
a rat in the shower
Kyle and his crazy jokes
the best meat ever!
freshly harvested strawberries
visiting "the market"

a body rested

a heart warmed

a mind refreshed


a hope renewed
