Pictures of the trip & day 1

Getting ready for the long haul in the Atlanta airport:











Welcome to Swaziland:

 
Our humble abode (living room, kitchen, & Carter's bedroom):
No, we haven't used the TV (tried for the sake of some noise but couldn't figure it out)

Yes, we have used the kitchen - spaghetti for our first dinner

Carter liked the orange bedspread the best

The Baylor Center of Excellence / Clinic

Not complete without a dedication from the King


Swaziland activity number 1: walk/hike to "the Pinnacle" (a trek pioneered by our classmate's brother who worked here as a pediatrician a year or two ago....though he ran it which is crazy!)

Local guy who wanted his picture taken

The view along the way

Finally made it to the top of "the pinnacle"

Pictures above courtesy of the one and only Carter Denny....here are one or two more that I thought were worth including from the day: 

The road/path ahead as we walked (periodically passed by trucks or motorbikes - one guy actually came back to check on us because he passed us in both directions & wanted to make sure we were okay and not stranded......or he just wanted to come find out who those 4 women were)

Not quite at the end of the journey but at the last big outcropping of rocks was this one - just like a nose!

And one last picture, courtesy of Carter again, is a shout-out for the Denny family...did y'all know that your family is (apparently) responsible for the best creamed cheese mushrooms in Swaziland?
