On the road again

 We have been travelling the past couple of days-sinding our way down to Vilanoculos for a conference of with the six other "senior" missionary couples in Mozambique.  About a 14 hour drive in total that we spread over a couple of days.  We spotted the above lumber truck and took a picture of it to send to a relative who purchases some African wood for his business, then I noticed the interesting combination of cargo on the truck.

 This Impala warning is as close as we have come to African wildlife.

Some stretches or road are pockmarked with holes like this--so much so that one must just creep along at times. A couple of times, I have been cruising at 70mph and suddenly come into a section of these.  It cant be too good for my little truck.

I just thought that this tree was spectacular--though the picture doesn't quite do it justice.

Publi transportation at its best

These are "weaver's" nests.  We first saw them i in South Africa a year ago--they sort of overwhelm certain trees.  The picture below is of one that had fallen to the ground.

We stopped for a moment to stretch our legs and found ourselves in the midst of a butterfly festival.

This picture is of one of  many of the myriad rivers that we cross. If you look closely you can see a small group of people fishing with nets in the river.
