Tengenenge Sculpture Garden

Started the day off again with a hearty breakfast -- poached eggs, damned good bacon, and some more of those darned hot-crossed buns. Then headed out on a drive past a handful of reclaimed farms and up into the hills, past a chinese-run chrome mine that used to be a neigboring farm to Simon's, to Tengenenge Sculpture Garden. Essentially a massive outdoor gallery showcasing the work of 50+ Zimbabwean stone sculptors, the place had an eery, yet promising aura about it. The sheer volume of the pieces, and the creativity of the artists, was overwhelming. Found a great piece that to me signifies so much about my trip already (see the attached picture and the piece directly above the "Rebanico Bangura" sign). While I passed it over at first in favor of a few smaller (and lighter) pieces, Nina convinced me to head back and get it. I'm thrilled with it.

We then headed back to the farm for another incredible lunch -- moroccan chicken and sweet potatoes. Our al fresco dining was cut short due to a late season, heavy thundershower that sent us all inside with our ice cream and cake. We then bid a reluctant farewell to our hosts and headed back to Paul's in Harare driving through the beautiful early-Autumn gold light and someof the most beautiful countryside I've ever seen.
