There is the 10 feet high tank for 2500+ gallons of water

Elijah and Riley clean it out inside.

We head for a trip back to a Mozambican friends home. It's close to the famed Mount Namuli, where the Makua people originated. There is much folklore and superstition about this mountain.

A school house near where is family lives in the mountains.

In his home town.... Cooked RATS for sale...

Sunday we attend a local church of Christ.

for 545 people in attendance at the church building that morning, notice the transportation of the most able...

We finally head out to see if we can reach Mount Namuli (2400+ meters high).

Here is the famed Mt. Namuli in the distance.

We drive up the mountain side and the weather turns cool. We traverse through deserted Tea Plantations.

We come to a few villages way back in the mountains. People often even run from us because since the war 15 years ago, the apprearance of strangers is often a bad thing.

Down in the mass of people we notice that many many men are drunk this Sunday afternoon. Although this district is highly religious - (Catholic, Baptist, Church of Christ, Assembly of God...) - in all these churches most are following an empty religion of works and bound by many fears and superstitions.

We didn't reach Mt Namuli because our guides lied that they knew the various road to take to get there even tough they didn't know. But God knows and we enjoy the site.

The best hotel in town has quite a kitchen in which to cook our fried eggs .

What do you think about the Hotel Restaurant kitchen?

We finally say good-bye to family again.

Looks like it is universal for kids to make sand pies!

Grandma (Pat) diagnoses 2 women with anemia due to diet and possibly worms and gives them advice on who to get a better diet of green leafy things grown in the area and plants to possibly kill some worms they might have. Careful instructions are left. The women are grateful.
