I am sitting in one of the overnight tents offered to guests at the Mantegna Cultural Village. In an attempt to strengthen the administration of National Trust Commissions sites such as this one, the SNTC has begun to partner with outside entities. Some good things result from this, and maybe some bad. For example, most of these charming tents on stilts are being taken to be replaced by concrete cottages...apparently that's what the majority of tourists want. And yes, I told everyone who would listen about the origin of the chair I am sitting in!

Of course, I have to make comment about this photo. Laura in an Adirondack chair!. The Adirondack Mountains in NY are, as Laura well knows, one of my favorite places of all time and I love anything related to the "Dacks". All the photos presented today were just great and learning about the different traditions of Swaziland, seeing the colorful clothes...just wonderful.
