Day 2 in Moz.

Today has been a slow day.  I couldn't fall asleep until two in the morning, and I slept until nearly eleven.  Mom made pancakes for breakfast/lunch for me, and then we talked for a while before walking down the beach.  My experience of Africa has not included beaches, other than Alexandria and Dahab in Egypt.  It feels somewhat disorienting, but I love the beach and I love Africa :)  I'm certain I can adapt.  



I love the many dug-out boats we saw.  This one had such a pretty multi-colored sail.  Mom said it is actually made of feed sacks!



There are many buildings in a very bad state, but I loved the style of this lovely one!

A lot of Mozambique seems very different right now, but there are some things that remind me of Zim.  For instance, these trees have a long, machete like seed pod.  They are a variety of acacia (I think that's what Mom said) and I remember them from Zim!  And of course, bougainvillea's bright pink decorates many places in my memories.  




Here is a quick picture of Mom and Dad's veranda.  I'll try to get more pictures of the area, and I'm sure I'll end up with more than anyone will ever want to see!
