First Impressions...

The mohawk is real, for those doubting.

Tomorrow we begin the second leg of our trip in Limpopo, Mozambique. Although some find the thought of me camping laughable, it is nonetheless a reality that we will all be 'roughing it' in a Mozambican wildlife preserve for 3 nights starting tomorrow. Animals we hope to see include, Lions, Rhinos, Leopards, Elephants and Giraffes.

So far, Kenny claims to have seen 3 monkeys, but none of us can verify this information. What we have surely seen is a lot of annoying street vendors, too much seafood, poverty, old cars, beautiful landscapes and troublesome border crossing activities.

Being in some of the most remote regions of the planet, we have seen beautiful, untouched beaches, mountainsides and dry plains. One drawback however, is the exorbitant amount of seafood which my 3 other companions swear is quality. Today, I spent most of the day watching them tear away at shelled, stank creatures which have marinated in the polluted coasts of this impoverished nation. Chicken is my best friend.

As of today, no one has experienced any real sickness, injury or pain. We hope to continue this trend through the end of our trip but with Kenny and I still getting comfortable with driving on the left side of the road with a right side steering wheel, one can only hope for the best.

Congratulations to my little brother and Matt for taking the plunge and satisfying their significant others' long term angst and frustration!
