Sleep tight don't forget to tuck in your mosquito net at night!

It's been a month now since I've been in Namaacha. Crazy how fast the month has gone by. My Portuguese is now improving and Spanish isn't getting in the way too much. So, this past month has been amazing. It's been nice being able to make conversation with locals when I am at the market. It's even better when I can bargain at the market so they can lower prices (which I am really good at thanks to my aunt). My mãe works at the market so one day I went to go pick her up when it closed with my sister and got to see the behind scenes. They basically load up all their stuff in one room and trust each other that they won't steal from each other. It's actually really cool and they lock it all up together. My mãe was pretty happy that I came and got her with my sister. We had a conversation on the way back. 

These people are all so friendly and really have each other's back when needed. Also they are full of love in the family, I've never seen a grandparent love their grandchild like how my mãe grabs hers and loves them. 

One of my nephews always plays with a bottle as a soccer ball, which is really cute cause he really tries playing and he is only a one year old. I love how happy a child could be with out a real ball. It's awesome to know the kids don't sit around to watch tv and play video games. They are always out and about. 

So it's raining season, which is good but bad. I love the cold but mannnn this mud is out of control especially since I live down a hill and have to walk up hill to go everywhere. It is so easy to slip in the crazy mud. 

I really am learning how to live like a mozambiquen though. I love it more and more. Especially the mozambiquen traditional dishes like matapa. Which is amazing and get to learn how to make. I am not a fan of coconut but majority Of the food takes coconut and it's amazing. Also I made my first piece of clothing with the traditional capulana which I love and I think it's starting a new addiction. And if you're wondering if I tuck in my mosquito net in at night yes I do haha. Hopefully I can upload pictures up soon. But I don't want to make the post so long 😁
