Warthogs!

Yesterday Dee and I visited the Mogalakwena Craft Center. Here women from the Pedi tribe embroider their history on pillows, cloths, etc. and make other crafts. It is also a retreat for artists to stay and study. We then had lunch at the main lodge which is for photographic safaris with luxurious chalets and main buildings on a river. Quite lovely! They have no guests now (winter) but we had a fabulous lunch on the upper deck overlooking the river. And while we did this the boys were searching for the ugliest warthogs they could find. Those creatures are very fast and quick to hide in the bush, but the men were quite thrilled with their find (and so was Dee, as she already has a spot in her house picked out for the head!). Oh--and we had impala for dinner which I must say was very, very good. And the local wine, bourbon and beer are all quite delicious. The days have been very comfortable but as soon as the sun sets, it gets very chilly. So we gather around the big fire pit, and the dogs fight over whose lap to sit on!
