We have spent so many wonderful holidays with friends Sheryl and Vaughn, and this time we had a chance to meet V's dad, Michel, who visited from Kenya. Tracy and Zavion were staying with us at the time, as well, so we had a full family house for the holiday. We had dinner on Thanksgiving day at Sheryl's, then went to Nyanga for the weekend, staying at
Springhyde.

Although Eliza wasn't well the first days, we rarely had electricity or phone connection (forget internet), and it was rainy - you can't beat being up in the mountains to force you to slow down and relax. Every day the mists would roll in, the clouds would overtake us as we were cooking dinner on the braai, and we would retreat to a huge fireplace, books, games and conversation.

Tracy and Zavion were huge motivators when it ca to getting out and seeing something of Zimbabwe. As you'll see from the next blogs, once T and Z leave, we did a lot more staying at home.
