Rejoicing at the beach

Earlier this month we travelled out to a hard to get to location to celebrate with the locals. It was an encouraging day.

Lichee season

One benefit of living in the centre of town is that we get people coming to our gate selling fresh fruit and vegetables. Lichees are coming out this time of year. I asked these men where they get their lichees. 

They get up at 5am, ride their bikes for over an hour to a place that has lots of lichee trees, buy lichees from a seller, then ride their bikes back to Quelimane with the produce. They then go from house to house in the hot sun asking if people want to buy anything. Not a bad days work, hey? Lichees are currently selling for $2.50 a kg. They are delicious!

Dispedida

We are moving in two weeks to a rural area in Africa to live and work among the people group up there. We've been in a city for a year learning portuguese and now it's time to say goodbye. Goodbye's are very important here so we threw a bit of a party...

Ever wonder how a pineapple grows?

Nate's favourite hobby is gardening so he loves to visit a nursery in the neighbouring town. I've been fascinated with the pineapple plant ever since first seeing it...
