Maputo; Day 1


As you may or may not know, Cassandra serves the Embassy HR need for not only Botswana, but Lesotho, and Mozambique as well. This means she needs to travel to these locations about 4 times per year. Cassandra was in Maputo Mozambique all last week , and we decided that I would meet her there for a mini-vacation on my birthday.
I arrived on Thursday to some pretty intense rain, and we went directly to an Embassy function celebrating 25 years of USAID in Mozambique. These traditional drummers and dancers preformed for the event. We were later told that they were not Mozambican, but South African Zulu's. Either way they put on a good show with lots of energy and intensity.
After that we went out to a restaurant for a wonderful dinner with some friends. I had the ostrich, and it was delicious. After that it was back to the hotel to relax and get ready for our trip to a resort on Inhaca Island, about 40 kilometers away.
