It is my last full day in Mozambique as I fly tomorrow to South Africa and then on to Atlanta and San Diego. It is a long trip but fortunately only two stops from Mozambique to California. Amazing.
Had a marvelous dinner on Tuesday night with Bob, the US Aid pilot for Mozambique. He is a Penn State grad who flew bush planes in Alaska during the 70’s and 80’s before coming here. Like his friend, Phil from Nambula, he will retire in this country. Great Chinese food in Beira. The family came from Taiwain 25 years ago. My measure is always hot and sour soup – it was excellent.
I was able to treat the CNFA staff to lunch yesterday. A local restaurant. I had the “Special” which was black beans, rice and shrimp. A local hot sauce is Piri piri. I am taking some home to Rob but it is too spicy for me.
My hotel is located in a residential section so had a long walk in the late afternoon. Mozambique faces east to the Indian Ocean but so far I have yet to see a sunrise.
Off to Angola in later September.

Hi Linda. You may not get this in time but try to check out the craft shop in Beira. The CNFA driver knows where it is. He did not believe me when I insisted seomthing like that existed but was amazed at the selection and prices (as compared to the beach vendors). Looking forward to hearing about Angola.
