last night lene (norwegian lost baggage buddy) and i went out to costa do sol (a popular seaside seafood place) for dinner and out to listen to some live music and dancing at a place called the africa bar. the food was great, and the music and dancing even better! although, the caipirinhas at costa do sol are a bit too strong...i had a hard time getting up early this morning to meet with professor v. and finish up our remaining chokwe data issues.
lene is a great going-out partner, so in hindsight, i'm glad our luggage was lost and we had a chance to bond. the funny thing is that she works on health sector projects for NORAD, so we're professional colleagues here too. we chatted a lot about the work i'm doing here and we shared some information that we each found useful (she coming from the top-down, me working from the bottom-up so we could cross-reference our facts).
i fly to beira tomorrow morning and then head by ground transport to cantandica on sunday. apparently cantandica is in the mountains so i'm hoping for some really pretty views. it's also very close to the border with zimbabwe. i'll see if i can post anything from there, though i doubt i'll have access (i've been pleasantly surprised about my access before though!). i'll be back at the hotel in maputo next wednesday, so i'll definitely update by then.
time to pack!

finally caught up! sorry i totally forgotten about the blog.
in case you are unaware, it's snowing in michigan this weekend, just like the past 10 weekends and the next 10 weekends. so, don't worry there is plenty of it left for you when you get back.
what you doing for your b-day?
I'm so glad you're trip is going well and you're making friends. I'm going to need to look at a map with you to see all the cool places you've been on your trip - enjoy!
Fondly from Michigan,
Melissa
