World over, people generally need to take care of their
nails. Finger nails, toe nails all need care and cleaning from time to
time. Of course, there are
the Nail Salons that have turned both
finger and toe nails into both a business and fashion statement. Between
nails and hair, there is a salon
on every block in Maputo.
The last place we expected to find a neatly cleaned set of
nails was in our refrigerator. Yup, you heard that correctly,
refrigerator. Rachel bought a local chicken from a friend and for 10
Meticais, you could have it killed and cleaned, so wisely she did!
However, when the chicken arrived, it was VERY CLEAN, right down to the
nails. They were so clean and “cute” we had to laugh and thought you
would like to see them. J
So I hope this does not stick in your mind next time you go
to the nail salon. If
you are wondering where the feet went, Rachel gave them away to someone who
would enjoy them more than we would have. (A happy ending.)

When driving in a dry land like Zambia, often times we don't see much
color. However, there are moments when
you come around a corner and you are surprised.
While driving through the bush, we came upon these grass seeds that were
brilliant in the sunlight. It was one of
those times that you just had to stop and try to capture its exquisite
beauty.
