I love Maputo. and really wish I could speak Portuguese.
and it looks like this will be the first college summer where I actually make a substantial amount of money. and it will be the first time that i don't owe my mother thousands of dollars for tuition. beautiful!
i guess maybe i am growing up?
haha.
no, now i just want to save money for the next little bit of time, so that I can come back here, and go elsewhere. i also want to spend my life wandering. I've met so many backpackers here who have gone to so many different places, and it just gives me so much hope that it really is possible to do all these things that maybe seem dangerous. Also, let us all remember that people are people wherever we go. And when you say bom dia or bom tarde, they tend to smile and be friendly.
there aren't hardly any street people in maputo. no one really begging. many sales people, who play checkers and cards when sales are low.
i'm staying at a really cool backpackers called Fatimas.
I left my digital camera in Stellenbosch on accident, so i bought an old school disposable one, i kinda like it though. :)
out of internet time.
much love!
