As we left for the 8am staff meeting in the office this morning, the temperature was 59 F. Afterwards the meeting we were able to obtain some local currency for use in Swaziland.

Staff meeting is held almost every week, but today was the one, or two, day per month that site personnel have the rest of the day off after the meeting to handle personal business.  This allowed us to show Mark around the town of Manzini for the day, stopping at one of the local cafes for a quick lunch.

The view of the back of Mkhaya Bella, the place in which we are staying while in Swaziland.

Jean brought us a shepherd’s pie casserole, with side dishes, for our supper.  Their family is also heading to South Africa for vacation for a few days.

The temperature reached a high of 72 F today and another lightning storm came through this evening cooling us off more.  Once again, the power stayed on and a small amount of rain fell.  Swaziland could definitely use more rain before the spring planting season.
