The Pursuit of Dog-Walking Nirvana
Oh, pick up a pew, sit yourselves down, grab yourself a beer or a glass of wine, because this could take some time... Like most things do here in Zimbabwe. Time moves like molasses here; people move like molasses. Even the animals we see scurrying across Harare's streets take their sweet time. I guess I shouldn't refer to it as 'scurrying' per se , as that intimates that they are actually moving at some rushed pace. No, they lope. That's it: they lope across the street. There is basically no point of rushing here, because you will end up meeting a roadblock (literal and/or metaphorical one) around the next corner, so just start off slow, and finish slow. In a way its uncannily like Ghana (our first African home) in that regard. Actually, there are many parallels between Zimbabwe and Ghana, not surprisingly. For example, they are both countries in the continent of Africa....they both gained independence from England (albeit one in 1957 and the other in 1980...)......
