So, the Royal Guard member who was also our guide at the sacred site of Ntfungeni asked me to marry him. I said o.k., though only for the day. Swazis can actually enter into marriage contracts of any specified time -- 3 months, 3 years, whatever they wish. He is a member of the Royal Guard. We heard the trumpet call from across the valley, and the men came out to the Royal Kraal and practised their "moves" and menacing stares (meant for the enemy). As you can see, this rocky outcropping was also very good as a look-out, and it is said that the kings would hide under the rocks we were sitting on -- so that could view the whole valley, and stay protected from sun or rain.
