One Month Later

I haven't posted anything in a month; not much has happened to write about anyway.

I went to Annapolis for a wedding in early July. The bride was a friend from the 'corps, and I saw some peeps that I hadn't seen in 7 years. We continue our jet-setting ways; the bride and groom flew in from Dubai, one guy flew in from Albania, another flew in from Mali, and another recently finished her PhD from a university in South Africa. The flight from Dallas was fine, in case you were wondering.

Work is work; I have to start thinking about Fall '08, which is no fun. Maybe that is why I am more concerned about where I'll go on my next big trip. Mozambique is the leading contender since I could be in Africa, SCUBA dive, hike, and speak Portuguese all on the same trip.

I'm dog sitting for a week, which in dogspeak means that Nacho is hosting an orgy:

Sometimes he's alpha dog...

...other times he's gamma dog exploring bisexuality.

There are two more at an undisclosed location, but if I brought them over there would be a code violation. And puppies in about 9 weeks.

I never been to Mozambique (though I've been to every country that borders it), but I've talked with a lot of divers who've been there, and it's supposed to be amazing. Guys were talking about seeing multiple whale sharks on a daily basis. I've also always wanted to visit the Isle de Mozambique

I've heard that the food situation is unfortunate. Meaning you would have to work a lot harder to reach foodcoma status. I'm thinking maybe along the lines of Samaipata-Sad.

But aren't there thousands and thousands of mamis selling fish along the coast? All I need is someone who can grill and make green sauce. I don't want to resort to stuffing my pockets with the mozambican equivalent of crappy empanadas.

btw, I thought of Samaipata this afternoon. The DART smelled a bit like urine, and I wanted some small no-bi-sick.

If I can someday visit 1/10 the countries that you guys have seen, I will feel well traveled.

Seriously, Divisidero and Blogazon could write a whole book on Africa.
