–          Hang out times on the back porch


–          My shaky sleeping arrangements on the top bunk


–          The perfect mix of Portuguese and Mozambiquan culture


–          Chicken fingers overlooking the beach


–          Street peanut brittle


–          African fabric prints


–          Dancing in church


–          Bargaining for everything


–          5 Roses Tea


–          Little kids born with rhythm


–          Buying bread for $.20 from street vendors


–          Bottles of coke


–          Amazing African hair


–          Sweet Chili Sauce


–          New Portuguese/Mozambiquan/S. African music


–          Learning South African slang from Lauren and text slang from Alexis


–          The boys random outfits every day- hall of fame: car seat cover, baby bonnet, and a grandma sweater


–          Seeing our boys on the street and calling them by name


–          Felix and his lisp and violent hugs


–          Ned Ved and his dancing


–          Carlito and his laugh


–          Edson and his guitar playing


–          That fact that I would rather hang out with these boys than do almost anything else


–          That I’m once again leaving a huge piece of my heart behind me as I move on to South Africa
