Learning Portuguese

Well, I never thought that when I go back to Africa, I would be learning Portuguese.  But here I am learning the language.  Apparently Mozambique was ruled by Portugal for hundreds of years and even though they are now independent, they still speak the language.

I suspect in a few months, I will start speaking a little Portuguese, and I do mean a little. 

Other than learning the language I have been learning a lot about the culture and preparing myself for a 27 month journey that will bring me many adventures, stories and pictures to share with everyone. 

If any of you are interested in reading a little about my assignment in Mozambique, follow the below link.

Peace and have a great day!
