Last weekend, Veronica organized a special lunch for Lindsey and us. We're enjoying lots of time with people we love! 
After our students taught some skills to the younger ones and played a game, we shared lunch and headed to the beach for more Ultimate and fun! 
The next day we hiked with another PCV and a couple current students to a nearby beach that we'd never been to before. Mozambique is beautiful!
Jesse and I enjoyed a great hike to where the great Limpopo River empties into the Indian Ocean. Here are a couple photos. We're with PCV Russell, Tiffany and her boyfriend, Claudio, our best student, Moises, and a former student who's teaching in the area this year, Nelson. 
and even a little pony riding! 
We walked on dinosaur footprints from 200 million years ago 
and appreciated San paintings from thousands of years ago on cave walls. 
It was cold in Lesotho, so we spent the week with all our layers of clothing, wrapped ourselves in lots of blankets, and enjoyed evenings in front of fireplaces. 
We’re feeling refreshed and ready to begin a new semester of classes tomorrow!
On Saturday we went to the opening of a new community center for children that will offer visual art classes, as well as performing arts classes (theater, guitar and traditional instruments, dance) and education about sexual health. Peace Corps volunteers in this community helped to initiate the project and a Mozambican friend, Claudio, is the coordinator. The opening ceremony was fun because the kids had prepared performances of theater, song, and dance. The picture is of performers playing drums and timbilia.
The quick video clip shows a bit of the traditional dance performance. Keep in mind that this is a special performance for this special celebration – it’s not every day (i.e. when you visit Africa, don’t expect to meet naked people with spears – note the cars in the background and guests in suits) but it is fun to watch.
