Along the beach there were various kinds of fabrics and clothing being sold always blowing in the breeze...so colorful! |
Thursday afternoon after we arrived it began to be cloudy and rainy, but still the view of the Indian Ocean from our Hotel room was awesome! |
Fishing boats were anchored along the shore as a storm was coming in. The water got high with the waves splashing over the barrier by the road in some places. The ocean is amazing to watch. |
Here were some people fishing...the poles were somehow anchored out a little ways. |
Inspiring meetings with the great Church Leaders in Maputo. |
Out to set up shop to sell their cooking. |
A clothing store along the beach. |
Handy cloth "capella" (chetanga in Zambia) can be used to carry bundles on the head or babies on the back or can be used as a skirt or as a jacket. |
Finally a sunny day and the tide is out so there is a large sandy beach. Lots of people are out to just to enjoy, many others are fishing, trying to earn their living from the sea. |
More people on the beach. |
We traveled this road back and forth from the mission home to the town, notice the little 3 wheeled vehicle in front of us...handy to get around town. |
Coconuts for sale everywhere. I thought of my brother Garth and how he used to crack one for us each Sunday afternoon when we were kids. He would love it here. |
A peaceful and beautiful place. We are learning to love Mozambique. |
