Snapshots from the road around Zimbabwe

A Zimbabwean woman carries bags along the road between Bulawayo and Victoria Falls.

One of the hazards of driving in Africa?  Trucks precariously loaded and driving way too fast or way too slow.

A woman tends to some cooking in a village.

Laundry hanging in a village.

The Flying Pot Restaurant near Gweru.

The Teecherz shopping mall.  For some reason the name really amuses me.

One of the many car washes outside Harare.

Because the Flying Pot Restaurant was just too creepy not to include another photograph.

Blowing Rock

While traveling recently in the United States, I visited Blowing Rock, North Carolina.

The view of my beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains was breathtaking.

I remembered what it was like to have a proper Autumn, something I miss dearly while in Africa.

Blowing Rock is both a wonderful, little mountain town and an actual rock.

I want this house.  Seriously.

The Blowing Rock.  Apparently North Carolina's oldest traveling attraction...

Sunrise over the mountains.

Such a different sunrise from the last time I watched it in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Sublime.

From Blowing Rock, I followed this lovely country road....

...to the wonderful Blue Ridge Parkway.
