goats, puppies, and more pics

1) My students and I at the regional science fair. Chris, in the top right, got first place for the older bracket.
2) A snake in my bathroom, before Chris bashed it with a big stick.
3,4) My puppy
5,6) Around the center of town. I don't remember if I already posted these pictures before. The center is a chapa stop where you go to catch a bus to Chimoio, the fifth biggest city in Mozambique and a (bumpy) hour away). The chapa stop is lined by bars, small stores called bancas, and a restaurant that almost never serves food.
7) Also at the center of town, the line of about 10 bancas. Most of them sell the same stuff: oil, matches, spaghetti, etc.
8) Inside one of the bancas
9) The largest "shop" in Suss. They got real dish soap!
10,11) At A Tribunal in Suss on a holiday I believe called A Concordanca de Victoria. It was the day the fighting with the Portuguese stopped and a treaty was signed in 1974.

  1. Hi. Im a Peace Corps Volunteer in Namibia. Im about to finish my 2 years and was planning on traveling through Zambia and Malawi to get to Mozambique; then well travel north to Dar Es Salam. I will be traveling with 3 other volunteers and were looking for information on Mozambique.

    If you can help me out send me an email at: natebloss@gmail.com. I would be happy to hear from you; we havnt been able to find much useful information on the internet.

    Questions we have:
    1. Where should we go? Is there anything in the north to see. Any nice beaches up there? We would prefer to cross Lake Malawi and hang out in the north before heading to Tanzania. But if all the nice beaches are in the South we'll want to travel in that direction.
    2. How much are Visa costs, and whats the best way to get one.
    3. Ideally we want to take a train from Mozambique to Dar Es Salam. Are there any trains? If not, can we hitch hike (free hike?). We free hike everywhere in Namibia and its safe...is it safe in Mozambique? If neither of these are options how are the buses?
    4. Do you know any cheap backpackers on archipelago de pacaruto?
    5. How would we get to archipelago de pacaruto?
    6. How are prices on things?
    7. Anything else we should know?

    Sorry for all the questions; just answer what you have time to.

    Thanks,
    Nate
