Mozambique

I went to Mozambique for three weeks. I was only there as a interpreter so it was a pretty easy trip. There were mostly marines, but then there were also small groups of Army, Navy and Air Force. There were three types of groups. They had three missions that were medical, engineers and military.
I was with the engineers the whole time. The renovated two schools and fixed a hospital. I was their interpreter.
I was interviewed a lot because I speak Portuguese. I was in the newspaper and on the TV news and radio. They also made a podcast for a website.
We all were issued a two man tent. It was hot during the day and cold at night. We were right above South Africa so it is pretty far south and it was winter there.
They don't have many animals there. I saw a bunch of crocodiles and a gazelle.
On the way home, our hotel was the Hilton right next to the Orange County Choppers.

They can carry a lot on their head.

There is a crocodile swimming in the middle of the river, but the picture is small. If you click on it, you can see the full sized picture.

Some of the Forcas Armadas do Mocambique that we worked with. We are in the market. They had some good bread and other food.

The higher ranking people of the engineers. We are standing in front of the Incomati River.

There were more than 750 Americans that were there.
