Living History

If you spoke with me before I left yu may remember my hope that I
would be living in a grass hut. It seems I have come as close to that
as possible! Today I moved into my very own rondavel. Until I can
get some internet to post some pictures (I am once again relegated to
using my kindle) here is a brief description. My rondavel is a
circular concrete/mud-ish structure about 24ft across with a vaulted
thatch roof. No electricity so I am now dependent om parafin and
candles. What is even better than my abode is where it is. I am in
the historic region of Isandlwana. For more info look up Battle of
Isandlwana on wikipedia. The landscape is full of wandering plateaus
and valleys that seem to go on forever...
