Look at that flimsy fence


So we just got back from the monkeys and crocodiles.  We went with the elders and sisters on their P day to a “used to be zoo” here in Maputo.  Most of the animals that still here are native to this area.  One of the native animals still there were the crocodiles.  The Elders went and bought a chicken to feed to the crocodiles.  I guess this zoo does not care what you feed the animals.  They were feeding the monkeys too so they would do tricks. 
I started a video of the crocodile eating the chicken but could see I wasn’t in the right spot.  I was in the right spot to get splattered when he chomped down on that poor chicken.  I don’t know what splattered all over me but I definitely need a wash job.  I did get a video of the crocodile gulping down the chicken and sent it to my children.  Couldn't get it on here for some reason.

On the way to the zoo, we saw a young girl about 10 maybe with a sack on her head.  They start them out young here.  How do they balance that thing on their heads?  Amazing.
[Stan]  We submitted a project for approval.  If it is approved we will tell you more about it as it happens.  It is a small one at a school in Impaputo.  Finishing up our "homework" assignment by looking at some other projects.  In a few weeks we will probably fly to Beira for just a day or two to check on the progress of a vision project started some time ago.  It is taking a long time to complete so we are going up there to see if we can get it closed.  Most of our work will be right here in the Maputo area.  It is just too difficult to get things done if we are far away.
