I have a beautiful wife and we are in Africa.
These are semi-mantra items that keep popping into my head in the moments of silent reflection, and let the record show that when on beach holiday, silent reflection is the time majority and rightfully so.
Its unbelievable. The beautiful wife part is enough to make a person do that cartoon shake of the head side-to-side as if to try and re-focus vision. It's amazing and its starting to set in...I have a wife and she is beautiful and mine.
And just in case that's not enough, WE ARE IN AFRICA! Now here is where the eyes get all stupid big and the jaw goes slack as one just marvels at the fact that we are the furthest from the house in Alamo on the planet as we could go (don't do the math, just go with it)
I keep finding similarities that bring a piece of home back, like the crows and the flies are abundant and look the exact same, but everything else...EVERYTHING is different. Things like language, smells, climate, tastes, and I have a beautiful wife-Everything is different here.
you are making the memories of a lifetime right now....
