12.28.04

Christmas and day after Christmas went to Clarence’s place, spending time also with others around town, saying goodbye, etc. Had great talks with Clarence about life and politics.

Haven’t shaved since I left!

Yesterday, went to Harare in the morning and spend the afternoon there with Oscar, seeing one of the nicest places (if not the) in Africa that I’ve been to. Really a well laid-out city. This morning, I left Harare for the border in a very comfortable coach, and five hours later I was across the Mozambican border, on a chapa for Tete, speaking Portuguese again. Got into Tete at about 3:30, found Akisha, and hung out for the night. Tomorrow, the long trip starts for Nampula – probably two days of traveling. Car, bus, train … should be another adventure!

Peace,
John
