I am thankful for experiencing the wonders of Mozambique. I just completed six months of residing here; my Portuguese is better; I have a nice group of friends; and some projects are already underway at the hospital. Even as I do the analysis of my Community Needs Assessment I look forward to possible new projects in the area of nutrition, child development, and starting a HIV support group, so the next six months will be interesting.
I take my working here pretty serious - a bit too serious - having a weekend getaway made me realize that even my blog post can relax seeing the beauty of the beaches on the Indian Ocean coastline. So sit back, grab a drink, and see the awesome terrain of Bilene, Inhambane (approx. 1 ½ hrs from my site).
The van dropped us off before our lodging because it did not have 4x4. After an hour or so we arrived, despite the name of the lodge.
The lodge is on a lagoon but a walk up a hill - I mean sand dune - would get us to the ocean. I have never imagined that sand dunes could be like this! I felt like I was in the Middle East rather than Africa! What an awesome hike this was.
Up, across, down...
….to a piece of heaven on earth untouched by greed and enjoyed by the innocent.
Amazing journey it was! Thanks for sharing this with me. xo
