2013/06/05 — Wednesday

Wednesday morning  we attended the weekly staff meeting and had the rest of the day off.  Virginia and I used the rest of the morning to walk around the east side of town to observe how things have changed.  Actually, there is not much that has not changed in the past 24 years.  We took quite a few photos, some of which we plan to include here when we get a better internet connection.

Just before lunch we met Jonathan at the TWR Manzini office and showed him the Manzini Market on the west side of town, where fruit and vegetables are sold in bulk and smaller quantities, where crafts are sold and lots of clothing is made in the small garage type stalls in the market.  We also saw galvanized sheet metal work (buckets, tubs, etc.), hair cutting, shoe repair, and lots of medical herbs being sold from these stalls.

We then stopped by the bakery and introduced Jonathan to samoosas for a late lunch.  After dropping Jonathan at the office, Virginia and I did some more shopping then headed home to be ready to attend the Wednesday evening service at the Evangelical Bible Church.

We got a chance to wish our granddaughter Audrey a happy 10th birthday using Skype.
