Friday, September 3rd

We had plans to go to Mozambique for the weekend to see Mark’s brother, Todd. Due to political unrest in the country it is not currently safe to travel there so we have changed plans. Evidently the people were protesting due to the increase in gas and bread prices. The police were “managing” the situation with rubber bullets. Sixteen people were killed when they switched over to live ammunition. Now there are riots. So we’ll spend three days fishing and traveling into the big game reserve Kruger National Park where we hope to see lions and leopard. And more elephants.
