Highlights of our trip ...
Racing up and down sand dunes on Tofo, spotting flipping dolphins from the top
Spying monkeys lunching on bananas and hiding in the bamboo at Dan's site
Ponta Linga Linga - Sailing and then wading through mangrove forest, then palm trees and deserted beach to reed huts and hammocks where we spent the night
We did all of our traveling by bus. One time the bus broke down for 5 hours. After repairs that included changing a tire and welding things, we were off again only to break down again 15 minutes later. As they fixed this problem, a man walked up and down the aisle throwing rock salt to get rid of the evil spirit. It worked because the bus only broke down one more time after that and we made it to Quelimane!
Our stop furthest north was Ilha de Mozambique.
Jesse waded out to a fort covered the island a couple kilometers off of the island we stayed on. He found the most amazing starfish I've ever seen!

Thank you, thank you!!! What spectacular views and amazing things! Also liked my text message alerting me to the new posting- I didn't miss a thing! Would love to see pictures of the newspaper wall- community journalism at its best. Trust you return to your classes feeling refreshed and rejuvenated! Love you both.
