My archived journey to Mozambique - Week #1

OMG I can’t believe that it has been a year already >.<. At this hour last year I was in Mozambique, preparing myself for another day of family fun. Oh yeah, most of you probably don’t know, I have family in Mozambique, my parents are from Mozambique, but I was born in Portugal.

I’ve been to Moz. (aka Mozambique) twice now, first time was back in 2001, during Summer vacation from High School, my uncles from my mother’s side paid my ticket, so that way I could meet my family members that I never met before, specially my grandparents (from my mom’s and my father’s side) I was 15 years old, I stayed there for like 3 months and I returned to Portugal just a couple of days after the 9/11 attack in New York, OMG I was so scared flying back home.

In December 2010, I returned to Moz. for a month, my uncle from my father’s side, paid me and other family members that live in Portugal, tickets to go to Moz. so that we could go to his eldest son’s wedding. Unfortunately my parents could not go, because my father was still kinda sick and the Doctor advice him not to go due to his health, so my mother stayed with him :(. That situation sucked like crazy bananas, because since my parents left Moz, about 27 years ago, they have never returned, can you imagine not seeing your brothers and parents for more than 20 years?:/
