It has been difficult to get nice pictures here in Nampula because it never seems appropriate to wander around with your camera taking pictures of random places and people. Today while we were out and about, using my cell phone camera, I snapped a few pictures around town (sorry for the poor quality...some were through a dirty windshield or while we were moving!).

| Sacks of charcoal |
Most Mozambicans cook over charcoal and it is common to see someone with a sack of charcoal (or two) on the back of their bicycle riding slowly through town.

People often walk around the city carrying items they are trying to sell...often windshield wipers, brooms, etc. Sometimes someone will be carrying around just a couple pairs of shoes or pants. One day a man offered to sell me a pair of pink pants, the only item he had to sell at that moment. I wonder how often they find just the right buyer for items so specific!

Often, secondhand clothes come here in bales. As a result, we see a lot of American logos on t-shirts around town.
