If you haven't heard anything from us lately it's because we are in Mozambique right now without regular internet access.

We had a GREAT trip with my sister Beth, Anthony and Josiah and Shaylah. We saw tons of animals on our safari in Etosha including lions, cheetah, elephants, giraffe, zebra and all the antelope. We proceeded to Nkrenkuru where we stayed for 4 days and had a really nice, relaxing time. We visited a collegues homestead in a nearby village and the kids loved playing with his children and the chicken they gave us as a gift when we left! The trip was especially fun traveling with Josiah and Shaylah because of how much fun and excitement they exuded at all the new experiences! It was so good to see the kids again and hug them every day =), and to spend quality time with Beth and Anthony. Thanks guys for such a wonderful time!

After we dropped them off at the airport we started our drive to Mozambique....a long drive!! We spent 3 nights in a small beach village called Tofo and we are stopped in a little town right now, Inhambane, on our way to Vilancuos - a little beach town where we are going to go snorkeling at the Bazuruto Archipelago!! Our Mozambique experience so far has been a little bit crazy - in our first 24 hours in country we were stopped by police 6 times and asked for bribes as they fabricated the "big mistakes" we had made! Once we got out of the capital city it was better. The country side is green, lush and beautiful - tons of palm trees and villagers selling fresh fruit and cashews on the side of the road. The beach is beautiful and nice and warm! The local food is delicious - coconut rice served with every meal and great fresh seafood! We won't have internet access again for a while, but when we get back to Namibia we will post pictures and get back in contact!
