So our hotel is actually pretty nice.. Now granted it's nothing like a hotel in the states, but its more than an African hut thats for sure! The staff is super nice and very accommodating. This is my home for the next few weeks! We all went met this morning and we spent the day at Andrew's farm and hung out at his house all day. The scenery is just amazing here. The sky is so blue and the mountains are in the background every where.. it's just something else! When we got to the farm we sat around with Andrew and got to know him and several of his workers and their families. Andrew is such an accomplished person and is so inspirational. I am very excited to spend this time picking his brain and getting to know him more. Today he said something that really stuck with me "The flipside to problem is opportunity". I think this is the definition of why I am on this trip and just speaks volumes about the kind of person he is. I honestly could listen to him talk all day.
We were prepared a meal that was made for us by one of his workers. It was chicken with some sauce and vegetables served with rice and salad. it was actually very good! We were also pleasantly surprised when Andrew's wife brought out homemade ice-cream and cupcakes! :) Andrew's house is probably one of the nicest homes that is in Mozambique, he even has a swimming pool in their backyard. He also gave us a pretty awesome options for tomorrow... We can either climb one of the mountains here with Wilfred (one of the workers we met) or attend the African church under mango trees with Andrew's family. Tough choice I know!!! I decided to go on the hike because how many times do you get to climb an African Mountain??? We leave at 6am tomorrow so I better get to bed, but I will make sure to take lots of pics! :)
