Birthday Requests

Ok, Ok.  I'm sorry sorry sorry that I haven't updated at all recently.  I've moved.  Again.  I now live in a place called Ezulwini, which translates to "The Valley of Heaven" and it is really beautiful here.  Why have I moved yet again?  Suffice to say that I really, really, strongly and adamantly recommend never staying at Veki's Guest House or doing business with it's horrible owner.  What an awful experience.  Can I jump up and down and wave my arms around for google to pick that up?  How does that algorithm work?

Hey!  Hey!  Google!  Over here!  Veki's Guest House Veki's Guest House Veki's Guest House.  SO.  BAD.  Avoid at all costs.

There, that will work, right?

Fortunately, while that was a fairly heinous experience, I am now living in the valley of heaven, and it is insanely beautiful out here.  And rainy.  But its all that rain that makes it so green and so beautiful.  Here are some pictures of the area around me:

My front yard.  This is the view I get to look at every day.

The shop down the road.  If only it really were a coffeehouse, but thats ok -- there's about 15 more all in walking distance! Oh coffee, how I love you.

Monkeys!  They dig through trash.  These are not the specific ones in my specific yard, but the principle is the same.

More showing off of the gorgeous views from my house.  Of the gorgeous, um, construction site.

Execution rock.  Which, in the old days, the would throw you off of if accused of witch craft.  Obviously this is also my backyard.  Also, I plan to avoid being accused of witch craft while out here.  Thats a long drop.

Valley of Heaven sounds much better than veki's guest house of horrors, just as long as you're not accused of witchcraft :)

Happy Thanksgiving! (yes I realize turkey and pumpkin are probably in short supply, which makes it the Valley of almost-Heaven)
