We woke up in the train to see this fog moving around us. I thought it was a beautiful to the rich orange color African soil along with the green vibrant vegetation.On the other side of the train track were these homes. Our guide described them as round because they did not want to give snakes a corner to hide in. The idea is that if a snake enters the house, it will move along the wall until it come back to the entrance and exit the house. A great plan and I hope it works!!This kids lived in these home and joined us outside to say hello. A mom brought out the two middle kids to join the others and be in the photo!After spending all of the previous day o the train, we were looking forward to some exercise! We went to the Great Zimbabwe Monument and this monkey wanted to check everyone out.Our guide showed us all the granite stones that were created to build all the walls! That is a huge amount of work!!As we climbed up the monument, there was beautiful scenery all around us and spectacular clouds in the distance!!There were an enormous number of stones!We had to climb up some impressively steep steps!! The passageway was designed to be narrow to make it easier to defend themselves!The walls were quite high!The top was quite large.It was interesting to see different sections of the wall!One of the funniest things happened at the top. All of these young people came up to us and wanted to have their picture taken with us. Suddenly there was a stream of people and cell phones. We stayed in one place and new groups of people would run over and stand next to us for a photo. These guys loved it that I also wanted a photo with them!!It was fun to walk around the inside of the monument!I liked this classic African tree as we walked along the monument!
