South Africa

This is a truly beautiful country, think you not?



Wide open spaces. Dense rainforest. Arid karoo.




Desert. Ocean.

Profound

Nope, sorry people. I don't feel like being theologically verbose today. Not that I normally am.

I am soooooo glad that I don't live in a city. Citylife would drive me nuts. It just seems so devoid of reality. Everything seems either too showy or depressingly rundown. Wherever you look it's just house upon house upon street upon house upon skyscraper... etc.

Wherever you go, there's brick and asphalt. Of course there are rows of trees and spots of grass to try and liven up the place, but that's only in the showy bits.

This weekend has reinforced my dream of living on a farm/plot. I think I would rather be a bit too isolated than crowded.

But then again, when stuck on a farm in the middle of nowhere, I start to yearn for friendly social interaction with people I am not stuck with.

Never satisfied, eh?
