Another day in Maputo

Started the day 6:30 jogging with Molly (the dog in the house). We ran along Lenin (or "Avenida Vlademir Lenine") and into the 'Bairro' where I met hundreds of Mozambiquans going to work by foot or in Chapas (see yesterdays picture). I didnt bring my camera so no pictures, but it was quite an experience and I didnt meet any other white girls on my way. The houses in the Bairro are made of grey concrete blocks with corrugated iron roofs and the roads are made of fine red sand. It is quite contrast to the shopping centre in downtown Maputo and the fenced colonies of american expats.

'Mercado Janet' - the fruit and vegetable market (where you can also have your fabric transformed to clothes by men with pedal-driven sewing machines). We bought a lot of fruit from Anita.



We visited Nucleo de Arte and saw the exhibition. We also talked to some of the artists in the workshops and finally had a drink in the café.



Tomorrow we are going to Inhaca to enjoy the weather and bathe in the Indian Ocean.
