The fattest little toad I have ever seen was feasting on ants.

Found art.

Morrungulo Beach!


Beautiful and isolated.


Yet, difficult to get to.

Catch of the day.


A beautiful boy of the sea.


Shark attacked!

Shark fun?


I was enamored. I had never been so close to a whole shark.


Fun on Bilene Beach.


Xai-Xai city.


I had a rat. Who ate my food and drank my milk.


Chalk another mark for Patrick, Chase!


Cameron's birthday party in Bilene. It was a splash.


JOMA coordinators getting to know one another.

May went went well and June is running! I had a great birthday where I received visitors for Inhamussua, Nova Mambone, and Mapinhane. Chase and I had a splendid dinner/dessert the Friday following my birthday. The Amy, Chase, Greg and I all had French toast with real organic Canadian maple syrup! Special thanks for the Canadian nurses who were here a few months ago. We followed up dinner with toll house cookies and the next day Chase and I made Christmas cookies. So the weekend was quite the treat. I had some fun beach days in Morrungulo and Bilene then went to Chimoio for a JOMA coordination conference where our predecessors from Moz 10/11 passed the torch to the PCVS of Moz 12. I nearly kissed a shark and killed my first rat. To say the least, I am keeping busy and fulfilling life to no end.
