It's hot and humid under the southern cross--we're talking 40 degree heat here--and I've been here and around, up-and-down, in-and-out, to Botswana amd Mozambique and South Africa and now back in Swaziland. One thing you always learn from such a round and curvaceous tour is that every country has its own pretty young things and attractive older ones too. People are always a joy to meet and know and falling in love at least twice a week is still the best way to keep your veins open and your heart alive. It's going to be a happy new year.
