I spoke to my neighbor on Thursday, "Feliz Dia de Independencia, Joana"("happy independence day, Joana"), to which she replied "Estamos livres!" ("We are free!")
25 de Junho is both the name of our town and the date of Mozambique's Independence from Portuguese colonial rule in 1975 after a decade long war for their freedom. Below are some photos of our town.
Men wheel these pushcarts around all day, laden with a variety of things.

Hot, fresh bread daily...carried and sold from a plastic tub on top of the head.
All that and carry a baby too?
A random sweet old man!
