RE: Holiday Adventures

Sondela Nature Reserve – the night sky is magical, what lay out there that I couldn’t see, but, could only hear? The foothills in Southern Drakensburg were gorgeous! If I hadn’t been there, you wouldn’t be able to tell me that I was in Africa. I have never been to Lesotho before. You have such a rich history of strange and exotic places. I say strange, even though I don’t mean weird. I used to bet which country would change its name next (I was a young kid, but, I just learned the continent and boom! I had to learn it all over again!)

Champagne Castle looks mighty fine! Did they serve, you know… Champagne? I think I’m in love with La Rochelle in St. Lucia! The fog lifting over the rolling hills and mountains.

Le sigh.

Rhino Peak is fabulous, Joan! The natural beauty of Port Shepstone… You have really been to some nice places. I like Timeshares if you use them. The problem with people is they don’t usually use them. I bought one when I was 24 and sold it twenty years later. I used it and had fun with it, and if I wasn’t able to, I let someone in my family use it, so it was a good deal for me. Thank you so much, this was so much fun and you have outdone yourself taking us everywhere!

#MarketFriday has evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages. Along with the fact of what is normal for where you live? These are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue.

I appreciate your support of #MarketFriday! Thank you! Your participation adds a piece to your world, and I have to say, people are interested in seeing it.
