Snow in Africa

On August 18, 2011 By

Drakensburg, South Africa, August 15, 2011. It seems this country is awash with metaphors. And so it comes as no surprise that I would awaken to one on this cold morning in the Drakensburg mountains – in the form of three inches of wet, heavy snow. Snow is not unheard of here, especially [...]
